Dental treatment costs can be a concern for many patients. Lara Dental Prime offers flexible payment options where applicable, including Afterpay, Zip, Humm and other payment options.
We also accept all major health funds and offer HICAPS claiming for eligible patients with private health fund extras cover.
Can I use Afterpay, Zip or Humm for dental treatment?
Payment options may be available for suitable treatment, subject to provider approval, clinic policy and the type of appointment. Our reception team can explain what options may be available before treatment starts.
Availability can vary depending on the treatment type, amount, payment provider terms and your individual eligibility.
Can I use my health fund as well?
Yes, if you have eligible extras cover. Lara Dental Prime accepts all major health funds and offers HICAPS claiming. Your rebate depends on your fund, level of cover, yearly limits and the treatment provided.
What about preferred providers?
Preferred provider arrangements may apply for HCF, nib, CBHS and smile.com.au. We also accept all other major health funds.
If you are unsure about your rebate, it is best to contact your health fund before treatment and ask what is covered under your policy.
Why ask about payment before treatment?
Asking before treatment helps you understand your likely out-of-pocket cost, available health fund rebate, payment options and any staged treatment plan.
For larger treatment plans, the dentist can explain recommended treatment stages so you can make an informed decision.
Do payment options apply to every treatment?
Not always. Payment options can depend on the treatment type, cost, provider terms and eligibility. The clinic team can explain available options for your situation.
Can payment options be used for emergency dental care?
Payment options may be available for suitable emergency dental treatment, depending on provider terms and eligibility. If you have urgent dental pain or a broken tooth, call the clinic and ask our team what options may apply.
Can payment options be used for cosmetic or orthodontic treatment?
Flexible payment options may be available for suitable cosmetic, restorative or orthodontic treatment, subject to provider approval and clinic policy. This may include services such as whitening, crowns, veneers, braces or clear aligners where appropriate.
