Expiring Dental Insurance Benefits?

End of the YearUse Them or Lose Them!

What if someone gave you free money to spend on improving your smile? With one string attached: use it all by New Years’, or lose it. Well, for those fortunate enough to have dental insurance, be sure to take advantage of your plan’s benefits before they expire at the end of the year.

Most dental insurance policies have a dollar limit to the amount of treatment provided over the calendar year. Benefit money not used by December 31 is NOT carried over into the new year. It’s lost forever. So, now’s the perfect time to check if you have insurance benefits still available and schedule an appointment to use them.

Or, if your insurance plan requires you to pay a deductible, and if you have already reached that maximum for the year, then any additional treatment would be covered by your plan. For these cases, it is especially important to get the most out of your plan before you’re facing a new deductible.

If you think you might have some expiring insurance benefits then please give us a call. We’d be happy to help you take advantage while you still can!
