Private Plan
Who can apply?
All GMB members and their families aged between 16 and 69 can apply to join this dental plan.
What will I be covered for?
100% of any dental bills covered by this plan up to generous annual maximums. There are many other dental benefits included, please refer to the Premium and Benefits Table below.
How do I claim?
When you arrange your dental appointment, simply call our claims line and we will send you a form for your dentist to authorise. Pay your bill, return the form with your receipt and you will be reimbursed.
I know I need a crown/filling now; will it be covered when I join?
No. We only cover new dental conditions that occur after joining and completion of the thirteen week qualifying period.
I have not been to a dentist for more than two years primarily due to Covid-19. Can I join the plan?
Yes - however, you will need to see a dentist and get any recommended treatments completed at your own expense initially. Claims for future visits and treatments can then be covered by your plan.
If I need a filling (or crown) I’d like white, not metallic or amalgam, will it be covered?
Yes, the Private plans cover white fillings and crowns.
When can I start using this plan?
There is a qualifying period of thirteen weeks from your first payment before you can claim (twelve months for dentures and denture repairs). After that you can claim as often as you need to, up to your annual maximum.
How long can I remain on this plan?
As long as you wish – you can stay on the plan and continue to benefit from it indefinitely.
