HOW MEDICARE CHILD DENTAL BENEFIT WORKS
The Medicare Child Dental Benefit scheme started in January 2014 and offers financial support for basic dental services for children aged 2–17 eligible families, teenagers and approved care organisations received a letter to confirm eligibility.
But don’t worry if you have lost your letter of eligibility! Give the Human Services team a call and they can look it up for you.
THE 3 ELIGIBILITY BASICS:
- Children aged between 2–17 years on any one day of the calendar year
- Receive, or their family, guardian or carer receives, certain government benefits such as Family Tax Benefit Part A for at least part of the calendar year
- Are eligible for Medicare
WHAT CAN YOU CLAIM?
Under the Medicare Child Dental Benefits for basic dental services are capped at $1,000 per child over 2 consecutive calendar years. If you do not use all of your $1,000 benefit in the first year of eligibility, you can use it in the second year if you are still eligible. Any remaining balance will not be carried forward at the end of the second year.
Benefits will cover a range of services including examinations, x-rays, cleaning, fissure sealing, fillings, root canals, and extractions.
WHAT CAN’T YOU CLAIM?
Benefits are not available for orthodontic or cosmetic dental work and cannot be paid for any services provided in a hospital.
Medicare Child Dental Benefit Schedule services will not count towards the Medicare Safety Net or the Extended Medicare Safety Net thresholds.
You cannot claim a benefit under the Medicare Child Dental Benefits Schedule and from your private health insurer for the same dental service.
