What do I have to do?

Bring your Insurance card or number with you to the consultation.
Mr. Rogers will tell you if your procedure is covered.
If the procedure is covered you only need sign a form.
Treatment will cost you nothing apart from the consultation fee.

You DO NOT need to contact your insurance company yourself.

What about Dental Insurance like DeCare?

DeCare is one dental insurance scheme operating in Ireland. It covers routine dental treatment like check-ups, fillings, some crowns, root treatments etc.
DeCare is not standard medical insurance and you would be paying an extra premium for this. Your normal VHI plans do not have DeCare as standard.
Dr. Fitzgerald & Mr. Rogers will fill in any forms you require to claim money back from DeCare.
DeCare reimburse you directly for treatment and do not pay us, we are more than happy to sign forms for you after treatment.

What if after making a claim my insurance fail to pay Mr. Rogers for the procedure.

If you fulfil the criteria above this will not happen. However in the rare instance where we make an insurance claim and it turns out you are not covered, you are liable for the full private fees for the treatment you received.
