Are you dissatisfied with the rebate your private health fund gives you on your dental treatments? This appears to be a common complaint and in response the Australian Dental Association (ADA) has launched a campaign aiming to bring about positive change for your finances.
The campaign called ‘Time2Switch’ encourages patients to compare health insurance policies available on the market, to ensure you get the best extras (dental) cover possible and that your rebates are increasing inline with premiums. If you notice your rebates are not instep with premium rises ‘Time2Switch’ guides you through how to lodge a formal complaint to the Private Health Industry Ombudsman.
