It is possible to use both your Smile dentist cover and your private health fund together at Tea Tree Dental for the same appointment. When combined with private health insurance, showing both cards means the lower reduced fee applies (usually Smile Dental), and you can claim health fund rebates. Combining Smile dentist cover with private health funds provides a double benefit, reducing GAP payments and increasing overall savings compared to using private health funds alone.
Medicare does not cover the cost of private dental treatment for adults in Australia, except for certain government-funded public dental programs through SA Dental. Smile dentist cover fills a gap in the market by offering discounted dental fees for treatments not covered by Medicare.
