Payment and Finance Options at Lorn Family Dental Maitland
At Lorn Family and Cosmetic Dentistry our goal is to make sure your dental care is both of ultimate quality and accessible. We understand that sometimes dental treatments can be an unexpected expense, however, this should not be a barrier for you to achieve optimal dental care. We are excited to offer all our patients a payment plan solution for any aspect of dentistry required. Please contact our friendly staff at Lorn Family Dental for further information.
Lorn Family Dental Maitland utilises HICAPS, which provides a simple and easy way to process claims for your private health fund, Medicare, and lodgement of Worksafe claims. This electronic health claims system allows claiming to be done on the spot whilst at the dental practice without having to make further unnecessary visits to the health fund. This will save you time and money as your amount out of pocket is reduced instantly.
Our HICAPS machine accepts all major health funds, including HCF, nib, Medibank, Bupa, ahm, GMHBA, Defence Health, Australian Unity, health.com.au, myOwn, Budget Direct, Peoplecare and Frank. We are not a preferred provider for any one fund, so you can claim on the spot whichever fund you are with.
At Lorn Family Dental we bulk bill for Medicare Child Dental Benefits Schedule (CDBS) and for Veteran Affairs.
We offer Afterpay and Humm payment plans, so you can spread the cost of treatment over time. Ask our team which option suits your treatment.
Health Funds We Accept
Payment Plans
Early release of superannuation. The Australian Taxation Office (ATO) may approve compassionate release of super for dental treatment only in limited circumstances and as a last resort. Strict eligibility and evidence rules apply, including that you cannot otherwise afford the treatment, that it is not readily available through the public health system, and that two qualifying practitioner reports support the application. Treatment sought only for cosmetic reasons is not eligible. We do not give financial advice or advise you whether to apply, and we recommend independent financial advice before you decide. After a clinical assessment, we may provide a treatment quote and one supporting dental report where our dentist can do so accurately. You must decide whether to apply and submit your own application directly to the ATO. See the ATO’s guide to accessing super on compassionate grounds.
