Are there waiting periods for orthodontics?

Yes, to be eligible to claim benefits for orthodontic services, a 12-month waiting period must have been served prior to the date of the treatment. 

If you’ve held Rolling Extras or Gold Combined cover with us for 12-consecutive-months leading up to your orthodontic treatment (and you haven’t already exhausted your orthodontic lifetime limit) you’d be eligible to receive orthodontic benefits. 

If you recently transferred from another fund, we offer continuity of cover so you don't lose the time you've already served on waiting periods.
