With the cost of living rapidly increasing each day, it’s difficult to make ends meet.
But did you know you can get financial aid towards dental, optical and aural services with the treatment benefit scheme? It's recommended to contact your treatment provider to check your eligibility before proceeding with any treatment.
If you choose to have treatment in another EU member state, the Department will pay an amount equivalent to the rate paid for similar treatments carried out in Ireland or, the amount actually paid for the treatment - whichever is the lower. It's important to contact the Treatment Benefit Section before you travel to get an application form and details of the amounts the Department will pay.
