Bulk billing refers to the Medicare benefits in Australia. If you qualify for Medicare, your dentist will bill Medicare directly for your services and accept their payment, leaving you with no out-of-pocket expense for your dental care.
At Shoppingtown Dental, we bulk bill eligible children for the Medicare Child Dental Benefit Scheme (CDBS). Your child might be eligible for $1,000 of bulk-billed dental treatment if they are under age 18. One of our knowledgeable team members will be happy to verify your eligibility with your Medicare card number.
To honour our veterans, we bulk bill all DVA Gold Card holders, which covers payment for their dental treatment in full.
Other Payment Options at Shoppingtown Dental
If you are not eligible for Medicare, we still offer several other options to help our patients reduce out-of-pocket expenses.
- Private Health Funds—We accept all private health funds.
- HICAPS Claiming—We provide hassle-free claims processing for quick payment.
- Third-Party Financing—We work with Humm, Zip, and AfterPay to offer affordable monthly patient payments.
- SuperCare—Our partner in helping patients access superannuation funds early for extensive dental treatment plans.
