Payment Plans
At bc dental we understand that knowing what to expect is important from both a clinical and financial point of view. Comprehensive treatment plans* are provided to patients so there are no surprises. To make the process as simple as possible we offer a wide range of payment options to meet everyone’s needs.
We kindly ask that all accounts be paid on the day of service. For those patients with private dental insurance please ensure you bring your health insurance card to your appointment - this will enable us to process your claim on the spot through our Hicaps facility. Any gap payment can then be settled by one of the following methods:
HICAPS is the leading electronic claims and payments system that allows us to process your health insurance claims on the spot on the day of service.
Our dental practice offers payment plans for selected dental treatments using DentiCare. Each tailored payment plan is managed by DentiCare direct debit services for your convenience, so we can focus on you, your smile and your dental healthcare needs.
There are no credit or finance contracts, so please feel at ease and talk to us about payment plans as this can often provide more freedom in considering dental solutions.
Many Australians are not aware that they have another option when it comes to paying for dental procedures. Getting access to your Superannuation to cover your dental treatments might sound overwhelming, but with SuperCare, it can be seamless and simple.
Compassionate Release of Superannuation (CRS) was designed to help you get the dental treatment you need, without unnecessary financial burden. And the best part? It’s paid for by savings that already belong to you!
Requesting an early release of superannuation for your dental treatment can provide instant financial relief.
SuperCare understands the stress that can go along with applying for early access to your superannuation to pay for essential procedures. That’s why their service is guaranteed to get your early release approved, or you pay nothing.
