Attention parents- The Child Dental Benefit Scheme is still operational.
If your child is eligible for the Medicare CDBS, you would have received a letter from the Australian Government that confirms the eligibility. The $2.7 billion Commonwealth-funded program was launched on 1 January 2014. It provides children and teens aged 2-17 up to $1000 reimbursement in basic dental services. The benefit is claimable over a 2-year period. The two-year period starts at the beginning of the calendar month and not from the first appointment date.
As long as your child is eligible and there are sufficient funds in your medicare account, the scheme covers your child for: Routine dental checks and cleans, X-rays, Fissure sealing and fillings, Root canal, and Extraction.
You can check your eligibility and/ or balance amount by calling the 24-hour Medicare inquiry hotline at 132 011.
Give John Street Dental a call and speak to one of our friendly receptionists to book you child’s appointment today.
