The Child Dental Benefits Schedule (CDBS) is a beneficial program designed to provide financial assistance for basic dental treatments over a two-year calendar period. This program specifically targets children aged 2 to 17 years, offering a range of covered dental services. To determine if your children qualify for this program, it’s important to understand the eligibility criteria and the process involved.
⦁ Age Range: The child must be between 2 and 17 years old at some point in the calendar year.
⦁ Government Benefits: The family must receive certain government benefits, such as the Family Tax Benefit Part A, for at least part of the calendar year.
⦁ Medicare Enrollment: The child must be enrolled in Medicare.
⦁ The CDBS covers various basic dental services. These can include examinations, routine cleaning, repairing cracked teeth, fillings, root canals, and extractions.
⦁ Orthodontic or cosmetic dental work is not covered.
⦁ The total benefit entitlement is capped over a two-year period, allowing for certain treatments to be accessed without out-of-pocket costs up to this cap.
⦁ The two-year period is fixed and begins at the start of the calendar year in which the child first receives an eligible dental service.
⦁ Unused amounts can be carried forward into the second year, but any remaining balance will not be carried forward at the end of the two-year period.
⦁ To confirm eligibility, you should speak with our team at Smile Design Dental. They can assist you in checking your child’s eligibility status and provide information on how to access the benefits.
⦁ Our team can also guide you through the process of using the CDBS, including how to claim the benefits and schedule treatments.
It’s advisable to confirm your children’s eligibility before planning their dental treatments, as this will ensure that you can make the most of the benefits offered under the CDBS. Remember, regular dental check-ups and treatments are crucial for maintaining your child’s oral health, and programs like the CDBS make it more accessible and affordable.
