Paying for Care at Champion Family Dental

Health Funds and HICAPS

Holding piggy bankAt Champion Family Dental, we’re steadfastly committed to helping patients get the dental they need when they need it most.

We accept all major health funds and have an on-site HICAPS machine, allowing you to manage health fund rebates on the spot.

Make the most of your health fund extras.

If you’re a health fund member with extras, you could be entitled to a wide range of benefits. It’s likely your extras cover means you’re entitled to at least one gap-free* check-up a year. It’s worth checking with your health fund to see what you can claim.

Private health cover can be confusing, we can help walk you through the process so it’s easier to understand.

We are a preferred provider for the following:

  • HBF
  • MEDIBANK
  • HCF
  • smile.com.au
  • Australian Unity
  • Peoplecare
  • GMHBA
  • Frank
  • NIB
  • CBHS
  • health.com.au
  • Health Care Insurance
  • myOwn
  • AIA Health Insurance

We also accept the Child Dental Benefit Scheme (CDBS), Metropolitan Subsidy Patients Scheme (MDSS) and the Department of Veterans’ Affairs (DVA).

How Do the Health Funds Work?

Different health funds offer different levels of cover for dental treatment. Some health funds will only cover the cost of preventative treatments, while others will also cover the cost of major treatments such as fillings, crowns, and bridges.

When you come for your appointment, our reception team will be able to check your cover and let you know what treatments are covered by your policy. Once you have had your treatment, we will process your claim through HICAPS to make it even more convenient.

You will only need to pay the gap amount which is the difference between the cost of the treatment and what is covered by your health fund. In some cases, you may even be eligible for a rebate from your health fund, which means you could get your money back.
