Most people that come in to our office will have a Medicare card.
While it is useful at the doctor, in most cases we do not need to see your Medicare card.
This is because your Medicare card gives you access to funds from the government to cover health expenses such as your GP or getting your eyes checked at the optometrist.
Unfortunately there are very limited programs available through Medicare when it comes to your dental health.
Currently there is only one available known as the Child Dental Benefits Schedule. You can read more about it here: Medicare Child Dental Benefits Schedule.
This scheme is currently running for eligible children between 2 - 17 and makes $1000 available over a two year period to be used towards dental treatment.
This is the reason why we do not usually ask for your Medicare card.
