Bulk-Billing
At Aperture Dental, we bulk-bill for Child Dental Benefit and Metro South Oral Health Authority Vouchers.
A procedure or treatment is bulk-billed when it is completely subsidised by Medicare.
In dentistry, bulk-billing usually occurs in public dental clinics, unless a scheme exists to outsource the treatment to private dental clinics. Aperture Dental Practice is a Private Dental Clinic.
At the present, the Australian government has the following schemes in place to provide for bulk-billing in a private dental clinic:
- Child Dental Benefit Schedule (CDBS) – find out more
- Metro South Oral Health Authority – Dental Vouchers
Dental Vouchers
Aperture Dental Practice has an agreement with Metro South Oral Health (MSOH) to provide bulk-billed service for both green and yellow Dental Vouchers.
There are two types of DENTAL VOUCHERS issued by Metro South Oral Health (MSOH).
Green Restorative Vouchers
These vouchers are for emergency / general dental services of the value up to either:
- $260 for emergency dental treatment, or
- $750 for general dental treatment
Yellow Prosthetic Vouchers
These vouchers are for denture services of the value up to either:
- $450 for denture repairs, or
- $1000 for new dentures
Prosthetic Vouchers can only be accepted by a Dental Prosthetist.
Dr. Pei-Song Zhao is a highly skilled and experienced prosthetist at Aperture Dental Practice.
