Dental insurance benefits can be difficult to navigate. Co-pays, deductibles, limits\u2026 you might wonder, \u201cWhat does it all mean? How can I maximize my benefits? Am I missing out on coverage?”\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

Did you know most dental insurance benefits don\u2019t roll over from year to year? If you don\u2019t use them, you could lose them! Don\u2019t throw your money away by missing out on valuable dental care before the end of 2016.<\/p>\n

4 time-sensitive dental insurance reminders<\/h2>\n

You’ve already paid for these benefits; make sure you use them! Here are four important reminders:<\/p>\n

1. An ounce of prevention:<\/strong> Keep your dental health on track! Preventative appointments, including exams and cleanings, are typically fully covered by insurance.<\/p>\n

Have you visited your dentist twice this year for your cleanings yet? If not, call now to get on the schedule before the end of the year. It\u2019s important to book your and your family members\u2019 cleanings now\u00a0<\/em>before schedules fill up.<\/p>\n

Remember: You\u2019ve PAID for these benefits. Don\u2019t throw them away!<\/p>\n

2. Check your deductible:<\/strong> The money you\u2019ve already spent toward your deductible will reset to zero on January 1st. Call your insurance provider to determine what you’ve spent so far this year toward your deductible and also to find out if any treatments you\u2019re considering are covered.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019ve met or are close to meeting your deductible for this year, you may be able to save money by completing a treatment in 2016 instead of 2017.<\/p>\n

3. Flex spending funds:<\/strong> Do you have a healthcare flexible spending account? If so, you\u2019ll lose any unused funds in it\u00a0at the end of the year (or grace period, depending on the plan). Remember, flex spending funds can be used for your dental care.<\/p>\n

4. Don\u2019t pay for procrastination.<\/strong> Delaying or avoiding simple treatments now could potentially be more expensive later. Prevent costly and serious treatments by making use of your dental insurance NOW before 2016 ends.<\/p>\n
