Health Insurance Funds

At Waterways Dental, we take pride in our status as a preferred provider clinic for CBHS and NIB. Additionally, we accept all dental health care plans. Bupa, Medibank, AHM, HIF, HCF, GMHBA – you name the acronym, if they are a registered health insurer we can claim healthcare payments for you on the spot. You'll only pay any applicable gap.

We are often asked if we have 'no gap' services, however dental insurance payments per service can vary greatly depending on your health fund, the type of cover you have, and your level of cover. So while we may have services that turn out to be no gap for some clients, they're not for others with different health funds – it's complicated! That's why we don't try to advertise claims of 'no gap' dental, as it's never one size fits all.

To better understand what dental services are covered under your health policy and what payment coverage they offer per service, get in contact with your health fund directly – your health fund may cover part or all of your dental requirements. Ask in reception if you need help decoding your health fund's coverage concerning any applicable dental service fees.
