Westfund Provider of Choice in Canberra

Civic Gentle Dental Care is a Westfund Provider of Choice. Eligible Westfund members may receive higher benefits, or pay no gap, on some general dental services, depending on their extras cover.

As with every fund, we claim through HICAPS on the day.

Bupa, HCF, Medibank and other health funds

You can claim with any Australian health fund at Civic Gentle Dental Care, including Bupa, HCF, Medibank, ahm, Australian Unity, CBHS, Defence Health and Teachers Health. HICAPS lets us claim your extras benefit on the spot, so you pay only the gap at the end of your visit.

Your rebate depends on your fund, your level of extras cover, waiting periods and how much of your annual limit is left. If you are not sure what you are covered for, call your fund with the item numbers on your treatment plan before you book.

We accept all major Australian health funds, including Bupa, HCF, Medibank, ahm, HBF, Teachers Health and more

Check-up and clean with your health fund

A new patient check-up and clean at Civic Gentle Dental Care is $219, or No Gap for eligible members of participating health funds. It includes a dental examination, a clean and polish, a fluoride treatment and two bitewing x-rays.

Many extras policies cover two check-ups and cleans a year, and some pay them in full. If your fund pays the whole fee for a preventive visit, there is no gap to pay on the day.

Health fund FAQs

Do you accept my health fund?

Yes. Civic Gentle Dental Care accepts all Australian health funds and claims on the spot through HICAPS. We are also an NIB First Choice and Westfund Provider of Choice practice.

Can I use my Bupa, HCF or Medibank extras at Civic Gentle Dental Care?

Yes. You can claim with any health fund through HICAPS at your appointment. How much you get back depends on your level of extras cover.

Can I claim on the day?

Yes. Bring your health fund card and we will process your claim through HICAPS before you leave, so you only pay the gap.

What does No Gap mean?

No Gap means your fund pays the full fee for an eligible service, so you have nothing extra to pay. Whether a visit is No Gap depends on your fund, your level of extras cover and your remaining annual limit.

Can I use my extras for veneers, Invisalign or implants?

Some extras policies include major dental or orthodontic benefits, usually with longer waiting periods and annual limits. Ask your fund what you are covered for, and we can give you item numbers from your treatment plan. Interest-free payment plans are also available, subject to approval.
