5 Reasons To Use Your Dental Insurance Before The End Of The Year

Each year, you work hard to earn your benefits, and before you know it, the year is gone, and you didn’t maximize your benefits. A similar example is accruing paid time off but not taking it. If you don’t use it, it will be gone.

Here Are 5 Reasons To Use Your Dental Insurance Benefits Before The End Of The Year:

1. Save Money!

While some insurance plans run on a fiscal year, most run on a calendar year and do not rollover. Many dental insurance plans are sitting there with benefits available that go unused. Dental insurance companies count on making millions of dollars from patients who never use their dental insurance benefits! We hate to say it, but your dental insurance company will not remind you to use your benefits before they expire! It’s up to the patients to know if they have benefits remaining. If you are unsure, call our office, and we will be happy to help!

2. Get Treatment Before Your Deductible Resets

A deductible is an amount you pay to the dental office before your dental insurance starts to pay. If you’ve already paid your deductible for this year, it’s best to get the treatment done now before your deductible renews in the new year!

3. Use Your Annual Maximum

An annual maximum is the most amount of money that the insurance company will pay towards your dental treatment in a year. If you have money remaining and you do not use it, you lose it at the end of the year.

4. Why Pay for Something You Don’t Use?

If you’re paying a monthly premium for your dental insurance, you should use the benefits. It’s no different than paying for a gym membership and not going. You’re better off to save your money if you’re not going to use it. 

5. Dental Problems Can Worsen with Time

A simple cavity can become a much more extensive problem and even cause unnecessary pain if left untreated. Your regular dental checkups allow for early issues to be addressed so that it doesn’t lead to a more severe problem.
