Dental payment plans are a means of budgeting for your routine dental care. We recognise that individuals have different dental expectations and requirements; consequently we have developed an independent scheme that allows you to choose a level of cover appropriate for your circumstances.
How do the S. Nepali Dental Payment Plans Operate?
In return for a regular montly payment you will have access to all the routine services we normally provide within the practice to preserve your dental health. Please see the individual plan details for the benefit that apply to each plan. All our plans inlcude insurance against the cost of treatment for dental accidents, emergency treatment when away from home and the provision of a cash benefit should you be admitted to hospital for dental related treatment.

How do I join?
Joining a plan is very simple. we carry out an examination for our usual fee; if we find a problem, we may ask you to accept treament for it, or invite your agreement to such treatment being excluded from the plan. Otherwise all you have to do is complete a direct debit mandate and your insurance cover will be effective from the start of the next month. We will also advise you at least two months before our year-end of any change in your monthly payment for the following year.
|
Exclusions
Non-routine services, such as cosmetic dentistry, implants, orthodontic treatment and occlusion therapy are not covered by the monthly payment. Also outiside theplan are laboratory and prescription charges and any treatment requiring referral to consultants or specialists.
|
Accident & Emergency Insurance
If you have unexpected emergency, such as an accident or toothache, then in normal circumstances you should call the practice for advice.
However, if you are away from home, membership of a plan allows you to call the dental helpline, who will put you in touch with a dentist who can help. What is more, if you are overseas when you need help, the dental helpline will endeavour to find an English-speaking dentist to assist you. Emergency telephone numbers will be shown on your registration card.
|
How do I claim under the insurance?
If you are away from home and have to see a dentist in an emergency, you should receive the temporary treatment necessary to render you in a comfortable condition. You pay that dentist and ask for a written receipt and details ofa treatment carried out. On your return home, we will help you comple a claim form and forward this to DPAS.
We will also help you fill in a claim form should you need treatment for a dental injury. If the treatment is likely to cost more thatn £175 (and thus require authorisation from DPAS) we will provide a costed treatment plan. An assessment by an independent dentist may be requested before this permanent treatment is authorised.
