$1095 bulk billed for eligible children

Medicare’s Child Dental Benefits Schedule provides individual benefits for a range of basic dental services including check-ups, x-rays, cleaning, fissure seals, fillings, root canal treatment and extractions.

You may use the capped benefit of $1095 to pay for your child’s basic dental services over a two-year period.

If the funds are not fully used within the first year, it can be used in the second year, provided your child is still eligible. After the second year, any remaining balance will not be carried forward.

Children aged between two and seventeen can be assessed for eligibility. Visit the Services Australia to learn more.
