FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Below are common questions from HCF members about using dental benefits at Prestige Smiles in Harrisdale. Contact the clinic or HCF directly if you have further questions.

What services are covered under the HCF More for Teeth program?

Under the HCF More for Teeth program, eligible members may receive 100% back on selected services. These include check-ups and examinations, scale and cleans, fluoride treatments, dental X-rays, and custom mouthguards. This list is indicative only and subject to your individual HCF policy. Cover is subject to your level of cover and annual limits, with specific entitlements depending on your individual policy.

Major dental procedures — such as crowns, bridges, or dentures — are not included in the no-gap offering. These procedures may attract a gap payment. We encourage you to check your cover details with HCF before your appointment. You can also speak with our Harrisdale reception team for clarification.

How do I use my HCF benefits at Prestige Smiles in Harrisdale?

To use your HCF benefits at Prestige Smiles in Harrisdale, bring your HCF membership card. Let reception know you are an HCF member when booking. Our Harrisdale team will verify your eligibility and available entitlements. You will pay only any applicable gap amount on the day, subject to your cover level and annual limits.

Here is what to do at each step of the process:

Let reception know you are an HCF member when making your booking.
Bring your HCF membership card to your appointment.
Our Harrisdale team will verify your eligibility and available benefit limits.
Pay only the applicable gap amount on the day it is due, if any.

If you are unsure how much of your annual limit remains, check via the HCF member portal or app. You can also contact HCF before your visit.

Will I have any out-of-pocket costs as an HCF member?

Whether you have out-of-pocket costs depends on your HCF policy and the service you receive. Selected preventive services, such as check-ups, scale and cleans, and X-rays, may attract no gap for eligible members. Whether a gap applies depends on your cover level, remaining annual limits, and the specific service provided.

Several factors may affect whether a gap payment applies:

Cover level:
The type of HCF dental cover you hold determines which services attract a benefit and at what rate.
Service type:
Preventive and diagnostic services are more likely to be covered at a higher rate than major dental procedures.
Remaining annual limits:
Once your annual limit is reached, additional services will require an out-of-pocket payment.

Our Harrisdale dental clinic can provide a cost estimate before your treatment begins. Contact HCF or speak with our team if you have questions about your cover.

Are there waiting periods for HCF dental cover?

Waiting periods for HCF dental cover vary depending on your policy and the services required. As a general guide, preventive and general dental services may attract shorter waiting periods than major dental procedures. The exact timeframes depend on your individual HCF policy and when you joined.

We recommend contacting HCF directly to confirm the waiting periods that apply to your cover before booking. Our Harrisdale team can also assist with verifying whether your waiting periods have been served prior to your appointment.

What happens if I exceed my annual HCF dental benefit limit?

If you exceed your annual HCF dental benefit limit, out-of-pocket payment is required for any additional services for that calendar year. Annual limits cap the total amount HCF will contribute to your care each year. Limits reset at the start of the new calendar year for most HCF policies.

Our team can provide a full cost estimate and discuss your options before any treatment proceeds. You can track your remaining limits through the HCF member portal or app.

Health Fund Disclaimer: Health fund cover varies depending on your level of cover. The benefit amounts and services covered are subject to your individual HCF policy, annual limits, and waiting periods. Please check with HCF for your specific entitlements.
