Warranty travel reimbursement — up to USD 750
How Picasso Dental Clinic SmileCare warranty travel reimbursement works for New Zealand patients returning to Vietnam.
This is Picasso’s headline differentiator for Stage 5 researchers comparing clinics.
What it is
- Up to USD 750 toward qualifying return airfare
- For warranty-approved remedial visits — not initial tourism
- Documented in SmileCare terms at treatment completion
NZ patients should still model costs in NZD — use ~NZD exchange at planning time.
What it is not
- Free holiday flights
- Compensation for elective upgrades
- Cover for travel insurance gaps — /nz-guide/travel-insurance-dental/
- Unlimited lifetime airfares
Example planning (illustrative)
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| AKL–DAD return (indicative) | NZD 1,800 – 2,500 |
| Warranty reimbursement cap | ~USD 750 |
| Patient gap | Budget remaining difference |
Approval flow
- Warranty claim opened
- Clinical approval that return to Picasso is required
- Dates agreed
- Travel completed
- Reimbursement per schedule
Why caps exist
Unlimited flight promises bankrupt clinics and attract bad-faith claims. Capped reimbursement is honest sustainability.
