What to expect during your visit to a Mednefits panel dental clinic?

1) Before Your Appointment

If you have Mednefits, please let us know when booking your appointment. This will help streamline the billing process on the day of your visit. Our clinic staff is happy to answer any questions you may have about your Mednefits coverage or any other details before your appointment.

2) Registration and Verification of Details on Appointment Day

When you arrive at a Mednefits panel dental clinic, your details will need to be verified to ensure that you are eligible for the benefits. This is so that you have a clear understanding of what’s covered and minimise any surprises regarding payment, ensuring your visit is smooth from start to finish. This can be done using the Mednefits App.

• Tap "Register" on the Mednefits App: Open the Mednefits app on your phone and select the "Register" option. This lets us know you're there and ready for your treatment!
• Scan the Clinic’s QR Code: You’ll notice a unique QR code displayed at our front desk area. Simply use your phone’s camera or the Mednefits app to scan the code. This helps link your visit to the clinic’s system so everything runs smoothly.
• Select Your Profile (If Applicable): If you have dependents (like your kids or family members) covered under your Mednefits plan, select their profile before moving on. This ensures the correct person is registered for the visit.
• Complete the Registration Process: Once the QR code is scanned, your registration is completed. We are now able to verify your details through our Mednefits Provider Portal and you’ll be all set to start your appointment.

3) During Your Appointment

• Comprehensive Exam: The dentist will conduct a detailed examination of your oral health. He will check your mouth, teeth and gums, using X-rays or other diagnostic tools as needed.
  
  
• Personalised Treatment Plan: Based on the examination, your dentist will discuss a treatment plan according to your needs. If you require further treatment for your dental issues, your dentist will explain the options and potential out-of-pocket costs.
  
  
• Preventative Treatments: Many initial visits also include a cleaning session to remove plaque and tartar. Your dentist will also offer tips on maintaining oral health and may schedule future appointments if needed.
  
  

4) Making Payments and Checking Out

After your appointment, the next step is payment and checkout. Mednefits makes it easy with a convenient digital payment process, so there’s no need for cash transactions. Here’s how to do it:

• Tap "Checkout" in the Mednefits App: After your treatment, simply tap "Checkout" in the app to start the payment process. It’s quick and easy!
• Select the Services You Received: Choose the services you received during your visit—whether it’s a consultation, dental treatment, or health screening. This helps keep everything clear and transparent when it comes to billing.
• Enter the Bill Amount: Next, input the total amount for your visit as provided by the clinic. If you’re unsure, feel free to ask the clinic staff to confirm the amount.
• Confirm and Proceed with Payment: Once everything looks good, review the details and proceed to finalise the payment. You’re all done!

Types of Payment Scenarios

Depending on your Mednefits coverage, here’s how your payment may work:
