Preface DENTAL FEES SURVEY AUSTRALIA 2016 This report presents the findings from the survey carried out by ACA Research between July and September 2016 for the Australian Dental Association Inc. The survey relates to the dental fees being charged by Association Members in Private Practice. The present publication provides a comprehensive summary of 2016 dental fee levels for General Practitioners and Specialists by State, and for differences in fee levels between State Capital and Rest of State areas, as at 1 July, 2016. The findings in this report will be made available to Association Members on their website (www.ada.org.au). A summary of the principal findings will be published in the December issue of the News Bulletin. The samples used represent ADA Members who are active in the private practice sector. A total of 10,397 dentists were invited to participate in the survey online. All the dentists were also informed that if they were using dental4windows or PracticeWorks practice management systems, they could use the software facility De-Identified Data Capture (DeIDC) which automates responses to the annual Fees Survey. A total of 4,180 dentists responded to the invitation to participate in the online survey however only 2,811 dentists, who completed the survey with valid responses, were included in the analysis of the report. Dentists were asked to list the fee they most commonly charged for each of 119 of items of service. The items of service included the types of services commonly performed by dentists in Australia, such as oral examinations, calculus removal and various restorative services. There were also some items that represented less frequently performed, but more specialised services, including orthodontic items. In order to eliminate extreme outliers, detailed data was calculated for each item of service in this report including minimum, maximum, median and mean fees using the central 90% of fees charged.

Introduction 5 Dental Fees 2016 ___________________________________________________________________________
1. Introduction The Association has conducted Dental Fees surveys of its members seeking the usual fees charged for selected items of service. The results from these surveys provide information on the landscape of the profession and are used as a strong information base for the Association when undertaking advocacy activities with the Federal Government. Dental Fees Surveys of ADA Members, active in private practice, have been carried out since 1961 and standardised from 1980. Since 1995, the surveys have been carried out each year by an independent market research firm, ACA Research. Items to be surveyed each year have been approved by the ADA Federal Executive. Australian dentists in private practice are free to negotiate the fees that will be charged for the services that they render to patients. The majority of dentists charge for services on a fee-for-service basis and have their own level of fees for the services they usually perform. They may vary a fee depending on the unexpected difficulty encountered, ease of execution, the patient’s ability to pay, patient compliance, or when the service is carried out concurrently with other items of service. For some items the final fee charged depends in part on the dental laboratory charge and/or the cost of materials. Few dentists charge an hourly or sessional rate (with/without additional laboratory charges) but many take the time factor into account when they set their fee for some items of service. A summary of findings appears in the December 2016 issue of Association's News Bulletin and the full report is available to ADA members at www.ada.org.au.

2. Method 2.1 Data Collection
The design, implementation and analysis of the ADA Dental Fees Survey has been standardised since 1980 and the survey has a high level of acceptance by Australia Dental Association Members. The survey was conducted by means of an online questionnaire directed to active members of the ADA in the private practice sector. An invitation letter was emailed out to all 10,397 dentists in private practice as listed on the ADA member database. The invitation letter contained the survey link that the dentist could follow to complete the survey online. This year communication to the dentists has been updated. At invitation, the dentists were presented with three options. The first option was to complete the survey, the second option was for dentists who were not sure if they would qualify and the third option was for dentists to decline participation in this year’s study. This has led to a positive increase in terms of dentists responding to the survey. For those dentists who declined to participate in the survey, they were also given the opportunity to voice their feedback regarding the survey. The dentists were also informed that if they were using Centaur Software’s “dental4windows” or Carestream Dental’s “PracticeWorks” practice management systems, they could use the software facility “De-Identified Data Capture” or “DeIDC” which automates responses to the survey. A total of 10,397 dentists were emailed the survey with a breakdown as below:
State Number of Dentists NSW 3085 VIC 2733 QLD 2130 SA 697 WA 1371 TAS 152 ACT 168 NT 61
Total 10,397 The information sought related to usual fees charged for a selected list of items of service, as at 1 July 2016. Confidentiality was maintained as the individual results are not linked to either the dentist or location of practice. For those dentists who agreed to have their previous year answers pre-populated, their information was displayed to review, edit and submit the results on a single screen saving both time and effort. The first invitation email was sent out to all General Practitioners and Specialists in late July 2016. Then there were three follow-up emails sent out to those dentists who had not completed the survey during the 8 week period in August and September. The first follow-up email was sent on the 18th of August, the second on the 5th of September and final follow-up email was sent on the 15th of September 2016. A total of 4,180 dentists responded to the invitation to participate in the online survey. The total response rate is 40%. However only 2,811 dentists completed the survey with valid responses and only the responses from these dentists were included in the analysis of the report. In comparison to 2015, it is positive to note there has been an increase of 458 responses by dentists included in the analysis this year.

The response rate achieved in previous years is summarised in the table below.
Year Sample Response Response rate (%) 2006 4,289 2,898 68% 2007 4,500 3,103 69% 2008 4,550 2,804 62% 2009 4,751 3,710 67% 2010 4,983 2,949 59% 2011 8,462 4,219 50% 2012 8,086 3,265 40% 2013 10,076 3,432 34% 2014 10,561 3,532 33% 2015 10,954 2,922 (2,353*) 27% 2016 10,397 4,180 (2,811 *) 40%
Note for 2016: Even though 4,180 responded to the survey for the analysis of the report, only complete and valid responses from 2,811 dentists were included. The valid survey response rate is 27%. The results were then weighted to reflect the actual proportion of dentists in each state, as well as weighting for each dentist in the practise charging the same fees. The total number of respondents is adequate to determine reliable estimates of fee levels. The complete and valid response covered 2,811 members including 222 respondents submitting the results using the DeIDC software facility. This response has enabled valid use of average fees charged for comparisons between States, from 2015 to 2016, and for supportive evidence in the negotiation of dental fee levels with other organisations. The total responses enable valid inferences to be made concerning fees charged by dentists in Australia. The large sample enables valid comparisons to be made interstate and between State Capital and Rest of State. The overall response rate and the valid number of responses included in the analysis by State and Type of Practice for 2016 is detailed below.

2.2 Analysis of the results
Dentists submitted the data directly via an online survey. As in previous years, a number of very high or very low values were checked and it would be expected that any significant dentist errors would be eliminated by using only the central 90% of data. Reports are generated for the General Practitioners group at State, State Capital and Rest of State level, and for the Specialist group at the State level. They contain the sample size numbers and statistical numbers, including the range (minimum 5% and maximum 95%), mean, standard deviation and median 50%. It should be noted that the classifications for ‘General Practitioner’ and ‘Specialists’ were self-assigned by the dentists in all states. Postcodes were used to determine State Capitals and Rest of State. For ease of analysis in this report we later refer to State Capital as Metro and Rest of State as Regional. The appendix tables in this present report show the mean fees for each item of service for the central "90% - 0's" responses by State. It should also be noted that annual fee variations are often larger amongst the smaller states due to reduced sample sizes. A total of 119 items of service were selected and approved by the ADA Federal Executive for the 2016 survey. Two items were removed from the 2015 list for research this year including Item 281 Course of non-surgical periodontal treatment and Item 282 Continuation of periodontal treatment or maintenance subsequent to item 281.

3. Dental Fees - General Practitioners 3.1 Response
Approximately 89% of the active private practice sector dentists, in Australia, are General Practitioners approved by the Dental Board of Australia. The General Practitioners responses have been separated from Specialists and the summary in this section comments on all items included on the questionnaire. A comparison is made for State Capital and Rest of State General Practitioners. In 2016 a total of 3,387 General Practitioners responded to the survey including 2,552 who completed and returned the survey. This represents a 36% response rate, from the 9,322 questionnaires emailed to members. In comparison to the 2015, it is positive to note that an additional 450 GPs completed this survey. Number of General Practitioner responses
Year n= 2006 2,434 2007 2,618 2008 2,334 2009 2,720 2010 2,564 2011 3,373 2012 2,920 2013 3,012 2014 3,056 2015 2,647 (including 2,102 valid responses) 2016 3,387 (including 2,552 valid responses)
3.2 Frequency provision of services
The majority of General Practitioners provided services in the areas of Preventive, Restorative, Endodontics and General. It is noted that a third of General Practitioners also provided some Orthodontic item services.
Service Category % of GPs provided Number of GPs provided Preventive Services 91% 2318 Periodontics 74% 1899 Oral Surgery 75% 1930 Endodontics 87% 2228 Restorative 90% 2291 Prosthodontics 81% 2076 Orthodontics 33% 852 General 91% 2333
The following table gives further details for the response of the General Practitioners to the individual items.
General Practitioners 11 Dental Fees 2016 ___________________________________________________________________________
The table indicates, for individual items of service, the percentage of respondents who indicated that: they did not provide the service; provided the service at $0 fee; or provided the service at an hourly rate. It is possible that some $0 fees were taken in conjunction with other items or some $0 fees were recorded in error. The last two columns of the table show the number and the percentage of respondents who provided an item of service and charged a fee. These latter responses have been analysed to determine the mean fees. Similar to previous years, very few General Practitioners indicated that they used an hourly rate for the different items of service. A few items such as Item 018 Written report, Item 061 Pulp testing – per visit, Item 072 Photographic records, Item 131 Dietary advice, Item 141 Oral hygiene instruction, Item 221 Clinical periodontal analysis and recording, Item 411 Direct pulp capping and Item 741 Adjustment of a denture were more likely to have a $0 fee.

3.4 Discussion - General Practitioner Fees
3.4.1 State Differences As for previous surveys, there were considerable variations in the levels of fees charged both within and between states. Overall, General Practitioners in South Australia were found to have charged the lowest fees. The ACT and Tasmania were reported to charge higher fees compared to other states. The following table displays the proportion of the highest and lowest fees as charged by individual states for the various services surveyed.
State
Highest Fee
%
Lowest Fee
% New South Wales 3% 6% Victoria 7% 3% Queensland 1% 7% South Australia 5% 35% Western Australia 8% 20% Tasmania 32% (*) 8% ACT 34% (*) 6% Northern Territory 11% 16%
*Please note: For almost 40 items, General Practitioners in Tasmania and the ACT reported to have the highest fees. However due to small sample size, these results should be viewed with caution. 3.4.2 State Capital/Rest of State Difference Similar to previous years, the fees charged between State Capital and Rest of State varied depending on items. At an overall level, General Practitioners in State Capital have charged higher fees in comparison to their counterparts in the Rest of State In over half of the 119 items surveyed (n=72), General Practitioners in State Capital have charged higher fees in comparison to their counterparts in the Rest of State with differences ranging from 2% higher (e.g. for Item 161 Fissure and /or tooth surface sealing – per tooth) to 31% higher (e.g. for Item 666 Prosthesis with metal frame attached to implants – fixed – per arch). There are 47 items that were charged at a slightly higher fee in Rest of State areas with the differences ranging from 2% to 10%. Please note the small sample sizes for Rest of State areas of Northern Territory in the Appendices A3.2 and A3.3.

4. Dental Fees – Specialists 4.1 Response
Approximately 10% of the active private practice sector dentists in Australia are Specialists. This survey also includes responses for those who restrict their practice to a specialty and classify themselves as Specialists. The responses of Specialists have been separated from General Practitioners and the summary in this section comments on items included on the questionnaire that are performed by Specialists. No comparison is made for State Capital and Rest of State Specialists. A total of 793 specialists responded to the survey including 34% of Specialists stated that they were not qualified for the study, not working in a fee charging environment (government, research, etc.) and a further 22% of Specialists refused to participate in the survey. Only 259 specialists provided valid responses which are included in the analysis.

4.2 Frequency provision of services
Instead of having Specialists provide answers to all 119 items, as in previous years, in order to save them time they were asked to specify their area of expertise and also indicate which Service Categories they provide. They were then asked to provide their answers for items in their relevant Service Categories. It is clearly noted that the Specialists in the areas of Orthodontics, Endodontics, Oral and Maxillofacial surgery only perform in their areas of expertise, whilst other Specialists like Periodontics, Paediatrics have provided services across a few Service Categories.
The following table indicates, for individual items of service, the percentage of respondents who indicated that: they did not provide the service; provided the services at $0; or provided the service at an hourly rate. The last columns on the table show the number and the percentage of respondents who provided an item of service and charged a fee. A note that due to a very low sample of Specialists in the areas of Oral Surgery, Oral Medicine, Prosthodontics completing the survey, services provided for these relevant categories should be read with caution.

A6 Example of Questionnaire form 101 Dental Fees 2016 __________________________________________________________________________
Appendix 6 – Invitation Letter (Invitation to Prepopulate) Invitation Letter – Pre-populated
Subject: 2016 FEES SURVEY 28 July 2016
Dear Dr <Last Name>,
Every year the ADA conducts an online survey to obtain up-to-date fees data to assist in its advocacy efforts
and for the information of members. All data obtained from the survey is de-identified and handled in the
strictest confidence under a strict code of practice.
Only one submission is needed for group practices/partnerships if all dentists usually charge the same fees.
COMPLETING THE SURVEY
You have opted to have this year’s survey pre-populated with your 2015 data. All you need to do is alter any
data that has changed in the interim and then submit your survey.
If you’re currently in private practice, please click this link.
If you’re retired, work in government or at a university or are unsure of your eligibility to complete the
survey, please click this link.
If you would like to opt out of completing the survey, click this link.
If your practice management system is De-identified Data Collection (DeIDC) compliant, you can use it to
complete the survey instead with all data de-identified on receipt.
It would be appreciated if you could complete the survey by 17/08/2016.
You can resume the survey at any time. If you encounter any issues please contact Andrew Kerrigan on 02
9927 3319 or [email protected] at ACA Research.
Thank you, in advance, for your timely cooperation.
Yours sincerely

If you have not yet completed the recent on-line Fees Survey I strongly encourage you to do so. The survey
closes on 2nd September 2016 and we would greatly appreciate your participation to ensure that we have
sufficient quality data to represent our Members across Australia. There are constant demands on the
Association for representative and up-to-date statistics, and as in past years, we count on your cooperation
to provide this.
Only one submission is needed for group practices/partnerships if all dentists usually charge the same fees.
COMPLETING THE SURVEY
You have opted to have this year’s survey pre-populated with your 2015 data. All you need to do is alter any
data that has changed in the interim and then submit your survey.

survey, please click this link.
