Save Big on Dental Care with HBF

To determine if your HBF health fund covers the dental treatment you require, consult your policy documents or visit the HBF website for information on your cover. Once you receive a treatment plan from your dentist, including dental item numbers, you can call HBF to complete a benefit quote, which will inform you of the benefits you’re entitled to. Remember that waiting periods and annual limits may apply.

At Harrisdale Dental Centre, our team can also help you determine if the dental treatment you need is covered by your HBF health fund and if there are any out-of-pocket expenses.

The amount HBF covers for your dental treatment depends on your level of cover and the specific treatment. By visiting Harrisdale Dental Centre as a Member Plus provider, you can get 100% back on your first scale and clean each year and 75% – 100% back on preventative dental services, subject to your policy.

Obtaining a benefit quote with the dental item numbers provided by your dentist is essential to know the exact cover.

At Harrisdale Dental Centre, you can generally claim electronically by swiping your HBF member card when paying for your treatment. HBF will pay the provider directly, and you will only need to cover the “gap” between the dentist’s charges and HBF’s payment. This method allows for the on-the-spot processing of your claim.

If you prefer to pay upfront and submit your accounts and receipts to HBF later, you can do so through various methods, such as online via myHBF, the HBF app, at a local branch, or by mail. Processing times for these methods may vary.
