MEDICARE Australia is investigating allegations that doctors, dentists and patients are colluding to rort the Medicare dental scheme.

The dentistry program, which can finance up to $4250 worth of dental work, is believed to have become a big earner for some dentists.

The Medicare inquiries are believed to be focusing on doctors who are referring to dentists patients who do not have the medical problems necessary to justify Medicare cover for the dental work.

By early this year, 94,673 patients in NSW had benefited from Medicare dentistry, with many receiving dentures and crowns that previously they could not afford.

The Herald has been told that Medicare has identified "compliance concerns" with the scheme, introduced by the Howard government but targeted for removal by the Rudd Government.

Potential rorts have been identified as a result of Medicare's risk assessments, reports by the public to Medicare fraud tip-off line and complaints by state law enforcement agencies.
