Don’t Let Your Insurance Dental Benefits Disappear in the New Year!
Before the year ends, patients should consider utilizing their calendar year dental benefits to avoid losing out on any opportunity to get important dental work covered by their insurance company. By using your existing dental insurance in December, dental patients can maximize their investment while improving their oral health. Because most dental insurance plans operate during a calendar year, dental patients with insurance must be aware of the opportunity to utilize unused benefits, deductibles and annual maximums before they reset on January 1st. Use it or lose it!
Why Use Your End-of-the-Year Dental Insurance Benefits Now?
- Maximize Your Investment: You’ve already paid for it. Use it. You’ve paid your premiums throughout the year. By scheduling a visit with LOREN Dentistry in Raleigh, NC, you can get the most out of your dental insurance.
- Prevent Future Problems: Most regular check-ups and cleanings are covered by insurance companies. Not only are they crucial for maintaining good oral health, using your benefits for preventive care can help you avoid more extensive and costly treatments down the line.
- Deductibles Will Reset: If you’ve already met your deductible for a calendar year, further treatments may likely be covered by your dental insurance company. Once January 1st hits, you’ll have to pay that deductible all over again.
- Annual Maximums Refresh: Most plans have an annual maximum – the highest amount your insurance will pay in a given year. If you have any benefits remaining, now is the perfect time to use them for dental treatments you’ve been postponing. Don’t wait.
- Fee Increases: While we always strive to keep our services affordable, dental material costs and operating expenses can increase year to year. Scheduling your treatment now could help you lock in current prices.
Common Treatments to Consider Before Year-End:
Here are a few dental treatments to consider scheduling before the year ends:
- Routine Check-ups & Cleanings: The basis for good oral health! Get your cleanings this year! Now’s the time.
- Fillings: Do you have a small cavity that needs attention? Getting it filled now can prevent it from becoming a bigger problem down the road. We gotcha covered.
- Crowns & Bridges: If you’ve been advised to get a crown or bridge, starting or completing the treatment before year-end can be a smart financial move.
- Root Canals: Don’t delay necessary root canal treatment.
- Dental X-rays: Often covered at 100%, these are essential for detecting issues not visible to the naked eye.
- Periodontal Treatment: If you have gum disease, using your benefits for scaling and root planing can significantly improve your oral health.
