HMO

What is ASEPSIS/ ICF fee for?

Dental work requires our dentists and staff be in close contact with the mouth and saliva which can contain infectious bacteria and virus (Herpes, HIV, COVID, Influenza, monkeypox etc) which can infect our staff and other patients if infection control protocols are not implemented properly.

Please be informed of our Asepsis/ PPE Fee which is P200 as we are required to have a high standard of infection control and have several protocols to maintain the cleanliness of the clinic. This fee also includes the DENR Infectious waste collection charges.

Subsidized infection control fee for additional disinfection, upgrades for infection control/ hazard fee/ PPE worn by the staff, (we change to fresh ones per patient) and fresh PPE you need to wear to protect our staff other patients and yourself.

Thank you for your kind understanding.

Will HMO shoulder or reimburse my reservation fee?

If no other charges will be incurred during their dental appointment. the reservation fee will be converted to the asepsis fee/ ppe fee which is not covered by your HMO.

Other charges that I should know about?

Please be reminded that HMOs cover mild cases of cleaning (oral prophylaxis), tooth restoration (pasta) and simple extraction (bunot).

If your case upon consultation cannot be covered by your HMO benefit, (example: deep cleaning or dental surgery) additional charges will have to be settled in the clinic. Our 

dentist will be informing you upon consultation regarding your coverage and if there will be additional charges.

For extraction cases, Xrays are mandated for proper diagnosis and treatment planning. Dental Xrays are usually not covered by HMOs.

I have Braces/ lingual retainers/ fixed retainers from another clinic and I want to have my dental procedure using my HMO.

Unfortunately our dentists cannot accommodate you as of the moment. Please schedule your Dental procedure with your attending dentist.

For Dental Surgery referrals, please present your referal prior to booking with us.

Is tooth filling, restorations or veneers for the front teeth included in my HMO?

Unfortunately this is a cosmetic procedure that requires different materials (composite brands and techniques) in which the cost cannot be covered by HMO.

Please book with our Cosmetic dentist for front teeth restorations. You may initially use your HMO for the initial consult for our dentist to be able to do proper referral to our senior cosmetic dentist if your case warrants it.
