We’re over the halfway mark of the year, and 2021 seems to be flying by! Don’t let the rest of the year slip away without paying a visit to your dentist.
Remember, the end of the calendar year is also the end of the benefits year, and you don’t want to leave any unused benefits behind when we make the jump into 2022.
Whether you have dental insurance that you subscribe to personally or have insurance sponsored by your employer, your plan will provide a set amount of coverage per benefits year, which typically starts in January and ends in December. If you have any unclaimed benefits come New Year’s Eve, they are gone forever by morning.
Plan to make the best use of your benefits by checking in with your dentist now. Although treatment is never recommended according to insurance policy benefits, your dentist can identify any potential issues with your oral health that would be prudent to treat now, while you have available funds to cover the procedures. For example, many patients postpone crown work because they want to avoid the discomfort and disruption. However, it’s smart to get the work done when the insurance benefits are available and before the problem has had a chance to get worse.
Plus, by booking your dental appointment now, you can avoid the “busy season” in November and December, when clinics typically see a rush of patients who want to get a checkup in before the benefits year comes to an end.
