Fees
At Orion Dental Centre we pride ourselves on our level of service,
because we feel your oral health is something you do not want to
compromise on. When you choose us, we believe you will receive
excellent service and great value for money.
We
ask that you settle your account on the day of treatment.
We accept cash, EFTPOS,
MasterCard, Visa and cheque by prior arrangement. Where possible
we will outline the charges incurred for a particular service. For
clinical reasons, this is not always possible, but we will attempt to
provide an estimate for the treatment being prescribed on that day.
As an
indication of our fees, we have found that most first visits are between
$200 and $300. After this, treatment planning can accommodate most
clinical and budget scenarios to achieve your desired outcome.
Cancellation Charges
When your
make an appointment with us, we are reserving time specifically
for your oral health needs. Should you cancel your
appointment within 24 hours, or do not attend your appointment,
we reserve the right to charge a cancellation fee to cover the
costs of this reserved time.
Health Funds
If you are also a
member of a
participating health fund, we offer iSOFT's HealthPoint payment
service. This allows the health fund portion of your account to be
processed on the spot, with the balance of your account payable by the
above means.
Unfortunately, with the large number of different health funds, each
offering different types of plans, we are not in a position to advise
you of your fund's rebate amount or limits. We recommend that you
contact your health fund for more information.
If you are looking to
purchase health insurance, then you can compare products at the
Australian Government
Private Health
Insurance website.
Medicare Australia
The Australian Government has recently introduced the Medicare Teen
Dental Plan for eligible teenagers aged between 12 and 17 years. We
have chosen to participate in this scheme, however you will be required
to pay for your treatment up front. You will then need to send your
voucher and receipt to Medicare to be reimbursed up to the value of
the voucher. More information can be found at the
Medicare Australia website.
Orion Dental
Centre continues to participate in the Medicare Enhanced Primary Care
Program for eligible persons. For more information you should
contact your GP who will then be able to refer you into the program.
