In brief
- The clinical plan is decided with the dentist.
- Send the detailed quote to your insurer and ask about the documents required, any limits and the conditions that apply.
- Keep the quotes, the invoices and the documents the clinic gives you.
Separate the treatment from the cover
The clinical plan is decided with the dentist. The conditions for cover depend on your insurer and your policy. A quote or an invoice is not, on its own, confirmation of reimbursement.
Ask for an answer before you start
Send the detailed quote to your insurer and ask about the documents required, any limits and the conditions that apply. Ask for this information in writing for your own situation. No universal cover is stated here.
Keep the follow-up documents
Keep the quotes, the invoices and the documents the clinic gives you. Ask which stages are invoiced separately and how check-ups are organised. This helps you plan the project without confusing the overall treatment with what is reimbursed.
