| Question
Does the dentist have to itemise my account?
| Answer
Although most dentists charge and invoice on a fee-for-service basis, a dentist is able to issue an account which states the treatment performed with a total cost.
However, at the request of a patient, an itemised account must be supplied. Occasionally, problems can arise with dental benefit funds where some dentists establish their fees on a time basis exclusively. The fund then makes an arbitrary division of the total fee between the items nominated.
