A small list of issues consistently arise with the completion of membership applications at a participating dentist. As a result, I have prepared this brief guideline to assist everyone.

1. Ask reception for a membership application.

2. Print LEGIBLY in capital letters.

3. Complete correctly all details requested on the form.

4. If paying by credit card, ensure that your credit card numbers are easy to read.

5. Return the completed membership application to reception.

6. Ask reception to fax your application to NobleHealth.

Following this guideline will ensure you receive your membership card promptly. Otherwise, NobleHealth may have to contact you to seek clarification on various items. This may cause unwanted delays.

More complications means that extra staff may be required to process membership applications. This will then mean that membership fees may have to increase. We can all prevent this by following the guidelines.

You will receive 3 bonus months of membership FREE for completing all application details correctly.

Today I thought I would address an enquiry we tend to receive quite regularly – “What is NobleHealth?”.

NobleHealth is a dental plan that entitles members to 15% to 55% off their dental fees.

Well, this is a line we communicate as it is simple and easy to remember. Of course there is more to it than that. NobleHealth is a community of members consisting of individuals, families, and Brisbane dentists.

NobleHealth understands the following:

• The importance of good oral health;
• The expense commonly associated with a visit to a Brisbane dentist since you generally can not use your Medicare Card; and
• The typically large amount of money spent by Brisbane dentists on advertising which is then passed onto patients resulting in expensive dental fees.

With these things in mind, NobleHealth has devised a ‘Plan’ for patients to save on their dental fees and for a Brisbane dentist to save money on advertising. Its a win-win situation!

The ‘Plan’ has been to do the following:

• Reach an agreement with Brisbane dentists to spend less on advertising which will allow them to lower their fees by 15% to 55%; and
• Have members visit our Brisbane dentists to take advantage of the substantial savings.

So there you have it, NobleHealth in a nutshell. You can also click on NobleHealth for more information.

In my last entry I discussed the importance of presenting your membership card to reception on arrival at the dental practice. This remains important although there is an ‘Exception’ ...

New members often join and immediately make an appointment with a participating Brisbane dentist. This is fine. In some cases, however, new members may not have received their membership card when the appointment time arrives. Not to worry. Simply inform reception on arrival that you have recently joined the NobleHealth community. Reception will contact NobleHealth for your membership details.

Reception will then create a new file for you.

...of course I am referring to your NobleHealth membership card.

You’re sent a membership card once you have paid your membership fee. It usually takes 3 business days from the day you pay for the membership to receive your membership card. We ask that you present your membership card to reception on arrival at the dental practice.

There are several important reasons for presenting your membership card to reception.

• This will ensure your fees are in accordance with the NobleHealth fee schedule which is up to 55% off the usual fees. Im sure you don’t want to miss out on those huge savings.
• Your file at the dental practice corresponds with your membership number found on your membership card. Presenting your membership card will ensure the dentist is looking at the correct file before beginning treatment.
• Reception at the dental practice will have to contact NobleHealth in the event that you don’t present your membership card. Our operators may be on other calls which will delay your appointment.
• The NobleHealth Team focuses on working effeciently in order to keep costs to a minimum. This is so membership fees remain affordable. Putting on additional staff to field these extra calls from reception could mean an increase in membership fees.

As you can see, it’s in your interests and the community’s interests to simply present your membership card to reception. So, ‘Don’t Leave Home Without It!’.
