Overview
Understanding how health insurance applies to dental implant treatment can be confusing. The level of cover available varies between health funds and individual policies.
For All-On-4 Plus® treatment, eligibility for a rebate may depend on your specific health fund and level of cover. Some aspects of treatment, such as hospital cover or major dental, may be eligible for a rebate, depending on your policy.
Before proceeding with treatment, it is important to speak directly with your health fund to understand what benefits may be available and whether any rebates apply to your situation.
Your All-On-4 Plus® clinician and treatment coordinator can explain the recommended treatment plan and provide information that may assist you when discussing your options with your insurer.
Every patient is different. Your clinician and health fund can help you understand how your individual circumstances relate to treatment planning and available benefits.
