Dental Hospital Voucher

Save Up on Dental Services with Dental Hospital Vouchers

Dental treatments have become quite costly in today’s economy, and have become a source of worry for many people. At Dentist Near Me Merrylands, we want to make sure everyone has access to the dental care they need—that’s why we’re happy to help you with some dental hospital vouchers. 

These hospital vouchers are part of a public dental program in Australia that allows you to get certain dental treatments done at a private clinic like ours, Dentist Near Me Merrylands, instead of a public dental hospital. 

How Does the Dental Hospital Voucher Work? 

Getting a dental voucher is a great way to access quality dental care at our private clinic without the worry of high costs. Through NSW’s public health system, eligible patients will be able to get Oral Health Fee for Service Scheme (OHFFSS) vouchers.

What You Need to Do

Here’s what you need to do to see if you’re eligible for a hospital voucher: 

  1. Visit a Public Dental Hospital: To start, you need to visit a public dental hospital for an assessment. Call 1800 679 336 to contact your nearest public dental service. 
  2. If you are eligible, they will issue you a voucher. This voucher will specify the type of treatment covered and its value. 
  3. Call Dentist Near Me Merrylands to book an appointment. Let us know if you have a hospital voucher when you call. 
  4. Bring your voucher with you to your appointment. As soon as you present your voucher, we’ll handle the rest! 

Private Consultations at Dentist Near Me Merrylands 

When you are dealing with a public system, there’s no doubt you will deal with extended waiting times and long lines at public dental hospitals just to receive a voucher for your dental service. Our staff at Dentist Near Me Merrylands can also get the voucher with ease and comfort with a private consultation. 

With this process, we can provide you with a letter of support and a treatment plan for your request. We email/fax all documents to the local hospital. If they suspect that you are eligible for a dental voucher, they will send it to you and you can use it to have your dental appointment with us.

What Dental Treatments Can Be Done?

Here are some dental hospital services you can receive using a hospital voucher: 

  • Routine check-ups 
  • Fillings 
  • Extractions 
  • Dentures 
  • Root canal treatments (Stage 1) 
  • Preventative care 
  • Emergency treatments 

 

Saving Your Smile and Money

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a dental hospital voucher?

A dental hospital voucher is a government-issued voucher that allows eligible public dental patients to receive treatment at a private dental clinic, often when wait times at public clinics are long.

Dental vouchers are usually given to public dental patients who:

  • Are on the public dental waiting list
  • Hold a valid concession card (e.g. Health Care Card, Pensioner Concession Card)
  • Meet eligibility criteria set by their local public dental service

 

Covered treatments vary depending on the voucher and referral but often include:

  • Fillings
  • Extractions
  • Dentures
  • Emergency dental care
  • Some general and preventive services


The services approved will be clearly stated on the voucher.

You can take your voucher to a participating private dental clinic, which will provide the treatment and bill the health department directly. You may need to book an appointment and mention the voucher when calling.

In most cases, treatment is free if it falls within the voucher’s approved services. However, always check with the dental clinic beforehand to confirm there are no out-of-pocket costs.

No, you must go to a private dental clinic that accepts hospital vouchers under the public dental scheme. Not all clinics participate, so call ahead to confirm.

The expiry depends on the type of NSW Oral Health Fee for Service Scheme voucher issued. NSW Health states that an Urgent Care voucher is valid for one month, while General Care and Denture Care vouchers are valid for three months. Patients should also check the expiry date printed on their own voucher because that is the document the provider must work from. If the voucher has expired or the authorised treatment cannot be completed within its scope, contact the issuing public dental service rather than assuming the private clinic can extend it.

No. Dental hospital vouchers do not cover cosmetic treatments such as teeth whitening or veneers. They are strictly for medically necessary dental care.

Contact the public dental hospital or community health service that issued the voucher. They can advise you on how to replace it or adjust your referral.

Yes. Children may be eligible for vouchers through public dental services, especially for urgent care or denture fittings. In addition, eligible children may also be covered under the Child Dental Benefits Schedule (CDBS).

No. Under the NSW Oral Health Fee for Service Scheme, the public dental service decides whether a voucher is appropriate and issues it to the patient. A patient or private provider cannot directly request an OHFFSS voucher from the Local Health District simply because they would prefer private treatment. Once you have a valid voucher, the clinic can confirm whether it can provide the authorised care and what paperwork is required. Treatment outside the voucher’s authorised scope should be referred back to the public dental service unless separate arrangements are made.
