FAQs About Child Dental Benefits Schedule (CDBS)
How do I know if my child is eligible?
You can check through your MyGov Medicare account or simply call us. We’ll check eligibility and remaining balance on your behalf.
Will I have to pay anything?
No, we bulk bill all CDBS-approved services, meaning you won’t pay anything upfront or later for covered treatments.
What if my child needs treatments not covered by CDBS?
If additional treatments (like orthodontics or cosmetic procedures) are needed, we’ll explain costs clearly before proceeding. You can choose to proceed privately or through a separate payment plan.
How often should my child visit the dentist?
We recommend every 6 months for a check-up and clean. These routine visits help prevent more serious dental issues later — and are fully covered under CDBS for eligible patients.
Can I use private health insurance with CDBS?
No — CDBS is a Medicare benefit, and it can’t be used in conjunction with private insurance for the same service. However, we can help you decide which option gives the best benefit.
Can I claim CDBS for more than one child?
Yes, CDBS can be claimed for each eligible child, so if you have multiple children, each one can access their own benefits for covered dental treatments.
Does CDBS cover emergency dental treatments?
Yes, emergency dental treatments that are necessary and considered part of the CDBS guidelines are covered. Contact us to find out if your child’s situation qualifies.
What types of treatments are covered under CDBS?
CDBS covers a range of essential dental services such as check-ups, cleans, fillings, extractions, and x-rays. Complex treatments like orthodontics or cosmetic work aren’t included.
How do I claim the CDBS benefit?
If your child is eligible, there’s no need to do anything! We handle all the claims directly through Medicare, so you don’t need to submit any forms or paperwork.
What if my child’s dental needs exceed the CDBS limit?
If your child requires treatment beyond the CDBS annual limit, we will discuss the costs upfront and offer alternative payment options for the remaining balance.
