Payment plans as custom as your treatment
You should never have to choose between your dental health and your finances, which is why nq ortho offers tailored payment plans to suit each budget - including multiple payments and interest-free financing.
Payment Options
All of our fees include different options for payment with flexible deposit amounts. These are; upfront, Denticare or ZipMoney (discounts available on selected options also). We use two different third party finance companies that provide zero interest repayment plans specifically designed for Dental and Orthodontic practices, if you wish to utilise a repayment plan option rather than paying in full.
Our repayment plans are tailored to allow you the opportunity to pay off the total amount of your contract over a period of time which is set by the third party. The duration of your contract may go longer or shorter than the estimated treatment time. Payment for treatment must be arranged before treatment is commenced or appliances approved for manufacture.
DentiCare
DentiCare has a once off setup fee of $39.00 which will be taken out of your nominated account when your contract is submitted. You will need to have your identification and bank account or credit card details with you to complete the paperwork.
(Please note there is a monthly transaction fee for credit card payments).
In order to qualify for DentiCare you must meet the following requirements:
- You are an Australian Citizen

- You are gainfully employed and/or have an adequate income to honour the scheduled payments

Health Fund
If you have private health insurance, please bring your health fund card when you start your contract as we can swipe the card on the day.
As all health funds and cover levels are different for each provider you will need to contact your fund directly to find out your rebate amount by quoting the items numbers below.
For Braces:
Item Number 881 or for some health funds 831 x2
For Aligners:
Item Number 881
If your health fund pays the full rebate amount over a number of years, you can ask us for an annual receipt each year to take back to the heath fund for the remainder of the rebate.
Unfortunately some health funds do not allow you to claim your benefits through HICAPS machine. This will require you to pay us first and then take your receipt to your health fund to claim your rebate. If any other item numbers are required please contact us.
***NOTE: these item numbers are the standard numbers used for each treatment type - please confirm this is the item number needed for your specific treatment by checking your personal treatment plan.
