How direct billing works
Bring your plan details
Your insurer, plan and member numbers, and the plan holder's date of birth. A photo of the card is fine.
We send the claim
We submit it electronically from the desk at the end of your visit. Most insurers answer within minutes.
You pay your share
Only the part your plan doesn't cover. For bigger work we send a pre-estimate first, so you know it in advance.
We bill most Canadian insurers directly. A few plans only reimburse the plan holder; in that case you pay us and we still send the claim for you.
Ways to pay
- Debit
- Visa
- Mastercard
- Cash
- Payment over a few months for larger treatment, by arrangement
Canadian Dental Care Plan: ask us whether your treatment is covered. Coverage depends on your situation and on the treatment, so we check it with you before we book the work.
