THIRD PARTY FUNDING - South Africa

HOW TO CLAIM FIBRE REINFORCED COMPOSITE RESTORATIONS FROM THIRD PARTY FUNDERS

Although we strongly believe that Third Party Funding shackled Dentistry in South Africa, we do realize that numerous patients are still dependent on the Dental Benefits allowed by these Funding Agencies

RECOMMENDED ASSOCIATED CLINICAL CODES

Update: Please read article by Dr Klaas Visses in the February 2005 issue of Sticky News, or click here.

Stick Bond Dental CC is not BHF or SADA.  This fee structure was compiled in association with dentists all over South Africa an we wish to thank all of those who contributed.  It took us nearly seven months to compile this list, mainly because the current BHF fee structure is seen as outdated and not based on scientific principles. It is almost impossible to contact executive level personnel at BHF or TPFA’s regarding advice.

FRC’s are new to the South African market.  Composite restorations are seen as the future of Dentistry worldwide by leading authorities. No clinical code even exists for a composite crown (like a BelleGlass® Crown) in South Africa! (On the dental market since 1996.)  We have compiled a list of related clinical codes in order to secure some funding for your patient. Note that it is a suggested fee structure – you are free to charge whatever fee you want

CLOSING REMARKS

IT IS STRONGLY RECOMMENDED THAT YOU DO NOT DEAL WITH THIRD PARTY FUNDING AGENCIES DIRECTLY.

AFTER ALL, YOUR PATIENTS ARE THOSE THAT REQUIRE DENTAL TREATMENT.

IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO TREAT THE TEETH OF A FUNDING AGENCY.
