Some patients may be able to receive dental treatments under Medicare's Child Dental Benefits Schedule (CDBS). Services for basic essential dental treatment will be included. Speak to our reception team for more information.
Child Dental Benefits Schedule (CDBS)
Services for basic essential dental treatment, such as check-ups, x-rays, fillings, and extractions will be included in the CDBS, the total benefit entitlements will be capped at $1,095 per child over a two year period.
The Child Dental Benefits Schedule (CDBS) will replace the Medicare Teen Dental Plan from 1 January, 2014. This $2.7 billion measure will provide a Commonwealth funded capped benefits entitlement for basic dental services for children.
Around 3.4 million children aged 2-17 in families who meet a means test will be eligible for benefits each year. The means test will be the same as the existing Medicare Teen Dental Plan, which requires receipt of Family Tax Benefit Part A or certain government payments.
