It’s that time of year again when many patients lose out of hundreds of dollars of their dental insurance benefits because the year has flown by.
Most insurance companies have a benefits deadline of December 31st and unused benefit dollars don’t roll over to the next year. These insurance companies bank on people not using benefits that they’re entitled to and have paid premiums for.
The bottom line is: What the patient doesn’t use, they lose.
Maximize Your Annual Dental Benefits Coverage
Don’t forget to take advantage of your remaining dental insurance benefits before the end of the year. One example are patients who have large old fillings in teeth that are at risk for fracture. Crowns are recommended to prevent fractures that could result in pain or tooth loss or more expensive treatment such as root canal or implants. These patients delay having treatment because “it doesn’t hurt”. If they wait until the following year and more than one tooth breaks, they’ve gone over their benefits maximum and have to pay more out of pocket.
We are here to help you maximize your benefits available to you for the treatment that you’ve been putting off all year.
