Dental Insurance – How it works.
We are happy to accept all patients who have Dental Insurance. Our reception team will help you complete your insurance claim forms when you come to visit us.
We are also part of the VHI Dental Network. This means that Vhi Dental members can avail of Direct Payment of their plan benefits when they attend us for their appointments. Simply attend us and you only have to pay us for the costs of dental treatment not covered by your VHI Dental plan. There’s no need for you to have to claim back your benefits – simply sign the claim form. Please note: VHI Direct Payment is not available for specialist prosthodontic services.
How VHI Direct Payment Works:
Step 1: Make an appointment with us:
Call us on 01-6655900 or book online to make your appointment.
Step 2: Call VHI Dental
You must phone Vhi Dental at least 24 hours before you visit or call us – please call them on: 046 9077337.
VHI Dental will then confirm your benefit entitlements to you and to us.
Step 3: When you’re with us:
Attend for your Exam, Scale & Polish and X-rays (if necessary).
Step 4: If you require further treatment:
If further treatment is necessary, we will forward a treatment plan to VHI Dental for approval before your next visit.
Following treatment, simply sign the claim form which we will provide for you.
You only pay us for the costs not covered by your plan.
If further treatment is required during your ‘Examination’ visit (e.g. you require a filling to fix a broken tooth) and we have only received prior approval for an Examination, X-rays and Cleaning, then you will have to pay us directly for this treatment and reclaim the fee directly from VHI afterwards.
Step 5: We submit the claim:
We submit the claim directly to VHI Dental for you.
VHI Dental pays us directly.
