Here we are again, approaching the end of the year! When that ball drops on New Years Eve, a lot of things hit reset. And dental insurance is one of them! Ensure that you’re making the most of your benefits from this year before it’s too late. To learn more about how and why it’s important, keep reading.
Hit Your Maximum
When you pay for your dental insurance, you are paying for a certain amount of coverage. Once you hit your maximum, you’ll need to pay out of pocket for whatever work you still need that year. Your maximum does reset with the jump from 2021 to 2022, so it is advisable to get as close to hitting that max as you can. That way you’ll have a clean slate next year, and you’ll be in a good position when you need your insurance to cover more dental services in the new year.
Use the Freebies
Okay, while not exactly free, since you’re paying for coverage, most dental plans fully cover a number of basic services, like X-rays and two cleanings and exams. If you don’t take advantage of those Items, you’re letting a big part of your dental benefits go to waste. Even more importantly, by skipping crucial preventative services like these, you’re putting your oral health at risk.
Rising Fees
Another thing that often happens at the start of the new year: dental offices raise their fees. If you’ve been told you need any work done, do it now before you could potentially be subject to higher prices.
