Keep reading to learn how you can make the most out of your oral healthcare investment before time runs out!
Your 2015 Dental Benefits: They’re Going, Going, Gone
You’ve paid for them all year long — now it’s time to figure out how you can use your dental benefits with your Natick dentist before it’s too late. A lot is on the line: if you’ve got a health savings or flexible spending account, any money that’s leftover in your account will be forfeited at the end of the year. And as for traditional insurance plans, any amount that’s left in your annual maximum won’t rollover to 2016 — meaning if you decide you need dental care in January or February, you’ll have to meet your deductible all over again to benefit from your insurance.
How to Make The Most Of Your Investment
Here are some tips from our Natick dental office to help you use your dental benefits wisely. Keep them in mind and watch your budget benefit as much as your oral health.
- Call your dental insurance provider. We know it’s a chore, but it’s the only way to find out exactly how much money you have left for 2015, and what dental treatments are covered by your plan.
- Decide which dental services your mouth would benefit from most. Have you had both of your recommended cleanings and checkups for the year? Do you need a piece of old hardware checked out? Be strategic for top oral health.
- Call our office to schedule your appointment. Remember that November and December are by far our busiest months, so call us as soon as you know what it is you need. Let us know you’re maximizing on your dental benefits and we can help you with the necessary paperwork to file your claim.
It’s About Your Oral Health, Too
Of course, it’s wonderful to save money here and there, but the number one reason to use your dental benefits before they expire is to improve your oral health. There’s a reason why preventive dental care is almost always 100 percent covered by insurance: it’s crucial to maintaining healthy, beautiful teeth for a lifetime.
