POLMED: what to confirm before dental treatment
POLMED Aquarium and Marine have different dental limits and network rules. Both include specified routine services subject to the POLMED Dental Tariff, available benefits and treatment protocols. One preventive consultation is funded separately within the stated preventive rules.
Aquarium requires its dental provider network and applies a co-payment for voluntary non-network care. Marine has a separate specialised family dental limit for qualifying authorised treatment. A general description of PMBs does not establish that every toothache or dental bill must be paid.

We claim directly from medical aids. Bring your card and option name, ask for a written treatment quote, and confirm current benefits, authorisation requirements and any expected co-payment with your scheme. A benefit check does not guarantee final claim payment; you remain responsible for amounts your scheme does not pay. We quote before we treat. If a network rule applies, ask your scheme to confirm this practice’s eligibility for your option and treatment.
