Private Insurance

Many patients hold private medical or dental insurance that provides partial reimbursement for routine or specialist dental treatment. At Meares Dental Surgery, we aim to make the claims process as straightforward as possible so you can get the full benefit of your cover.

We are happy to complete any necessary paperwork and provide receipts for patients submitting claims to any of the following:

  • VHI
  • VHI De Care
  • Garda Medical Aid
  • ESB Medical Benefits Scheme

Should you have insurance not listed, please contact the practice and we will be happy to look into it for you.

Different insurers offer different levels of dental cover, and benefits may vary depending on your plan, excess, and annual limits. Patients are encouraged to check the terms of their individual policy to confirm what treatments are eligible for reimbursement and whether pre-authorisation is required.

We provide itemised receipts for all treatments, making it easy for patients to submit claims directly to their insurance provider. If you need guidance on typical claim information or procedure codes, our reception team can advise what is normally included on receipts, without offering financial or insurance advice.
