When choosing a dentist, you might come across the term “preferred provider.” At Plaza Dental Care, we have made a deliberate choice not to be a preferred provider for any health funds. Here’s why.
Private Dentists Vs Preferred Providers: What’s the Difference?
Preferred providers are dental clinics that enter agreements with private health insurance companies. These agreements often mean set fees and treatment limitations determined by the insurance company. For patients, this can sometimes translate into lower out-of-pocket expenses, but it may also mean fewer options when it comes to dental treatment.
On the other hand, private dentists like Plaza Dental Care operate independently. We don’t work within the confines of an insurance company’s rules. This allows us to tailor dental care to your individual needs, rather than being restricted by health fund agreements. As a private dental practice, we believe that offering a wide range of treatment options is the key to delivering the best possible care.
Why We Choose to Remain Independent
By not becoming a preferred provider, Plaza Dental Care ensures that you receive personalised care without compromise. You can still claim your health fund benefits with us, but our treatment recommendations are driven by what’s best for your health, not by the limitations set by a private health fund.
At Plaza Dental Care, we focus on providing top-tier Australian dental care, free from the constraints of preferred provider agreements. Our commitment is to you, ensuring you receive the most appropriate dental treatment for your needs.
