Use Your Dental Insurance Benefits Before the End of the Year

Posted by Dr. Bird on Nov 23 2021, 11:44 PM

Do you know that your dental insurance gets run out every year? At Paradise Family Dental, we understand that the world of dental insurance benefits,co-pays, deductibles, etc., can be challenging for many people to comprehend. 

We would like to remind our patients to use their 2021 dental insurance benefits before they expire, as most insurance plans get reset on January 1, the next year. And if you don't use your current year's benefits, the pending benefits will not be rolled out the next year, meaning you will lose it. 

If you wish to maximize benefits from your dental insurance plan or want to know more about year-end benefits, read on:

  • Make Complete Use of the Dental Insurance Coverage 

Just so you know, a dental insurance plan typically offers about $1,000 to $1,500 per insured person as the yearly maximum or the limit up to which one can make claims. If it is not used, it will get expire once the year ends. So, if you have any amount pending to use, the smartest thing to do before the new year rolls in is to set an appointment with your dentist at Paradise Family Dental, West Richland, WA.

  • Avail Preventative Services

Typically, preventive services like dental exams, teeth cleanings, and dental x-rays are fully covered by dental insurances. So, if your biannual dental visit is pending this year, schedule an appointment with the Paradise Dental Family general dentist before the year-end deadline. 

  • Give Attention To Minute Problems To Avoid Out-of-pocket Expenses In The Future.

The ADA always emphasizes regular dental checkups and professional teeth cleanings as dental problems get worse when left untreated. Small tooth decay can be a big cavity tomorrow if it is not treated on time, leading to the need for complex and expensive treatments that would even go over the coverage offered by insurance. So it is advisable to reap the maximum benefits of dental insurance and stay ahead of all dental issues. 

  • Make the Appointment Sooner 

Don't wait until the last minute to book your appointment, as you may not get one due to the busy schedules at dental offices because this is the time most patients rush to take appointments to reap the maximum benefits. And hence, if you wait too long, chances are you might end up losing your money.
