Fees
Depending on the complexity of your treatment requirements, fees can vary. At the initial dental examination appointment we carefully develop your individual treatment plan in consultation with you and provide detailed estimates of cost. As a guide, the initial fee for this first appointment is approximately $176 including two intra-oral radiographs for early problem detection.

Health Insurance
Make an instant claim to your health fund insurer and avoid the forms, queues and waiting for cheques in the mail. Just swipe your Health Insurance Membership Card through our HICAPS facility on the day of your treatment. Since we can immediately make your claim, you are only responsible for the balance or “Gap” payment.
HICAPS
The great thing about HICAPS is that it supports all of the major health funds (currently 42 health insurance companies are members). To learn more about the HICAPS supported health funds, visit the HICAPS website or call HICAPS on: 1800 80 57 80.
Medicare
Commencing in 2014, the Child Dental Benefit Schedule allows many children between two and seventeen years of age to access dental services in private practice. If eligible, your child is entitled to $1000 of cover over a two calendar year period. The CDBS is means tested, and requires receipt of Family Tax Benefit Part A to be eligible.
The CDBS provides benefits for a good range of services including dental examinations, x-rays, professional cleaning, fillings, and fissure sealants. It does not cover orthodontic or cosmetic dental work. It does not provide any benefit for work provided in a hospital.
You can find more information regarding the Child Dental Benefits Schedule through the Government website.
Medicare no longer provides cover for adult patients in private practice. The previous Enhanced Primary Care (EPC) scheme was ended in November of 2012. Jorgensen Mutzelburg Dental will continue to deliver you the excellent service and dental treatment you have come to know. We will be diligent in promoting improved dental health outcomes for our community.
Patient Funding
We realise that unforeseen dental needs may put a strain on your financial budget, so we have introduced a range of payment plans which will enable you to complete the dental treatment you desire and need.
Patient payment plans are available. Talk to our team today if you wish to explore this option.
Payment Requirements
Payment is required at each appointment – cash, credit card, and EFTPOS facilities are available, plus HICAPS for direct billing of your health insurer, meaning you will only need to pay the gap.
Concession Cards
Current holders of the Department of Veterans Affairs, DVA Gold and White Cards , and Seniors Cards are welcome. Jorgensen Mutzelburg Dental is proud to deliver quality dental treatment to Veterans and their families. Holders of DVA cards are able to receive their full treatment entitlement in accordance with the Department of Veterans Affairs schedules.
