Dental Insurance Benefits: Use it or Lose it! | Precision Dental
Have you used all of your dental insurance benefits for this year?
At the end of each year, many people miss out on scheduling their necessary dental treatment before the end of the year.
Unfortunately, dental insurance benefit dollars don’t roll over into the following year, which, in turn, leads to a significant waste of your valuable benefits payments.
In other words, when it comes to dental benefits, if you don’t use them, you lose them!
Remember that dental insurance companies save big each year when people don’t use the total dollar amount of your coverage plan. Don’t let this be you!
Reasons To Use Your Dental Benefits Now!
Yearly Maximum
Dental insurance plans have an annual maximum they are willing to pay within a calendar year. If you need any restorative treatments, it makes sense to take advantage of these unused benefits since they don’t roll over into the following year.
Deductibles
The deductible is the amount of out-of-pocket expenses you pay your dentist before your insurance company pays for any services. As soon as 2022 arrives, your plan requires you to meet that deductible all over again.
Premiums
Through your insurance provider, you’re currently paying dental insurance premiums every month; therefore, you should be using your benefits. You should have regular dental cleanings and check-ups looking for early signs of gum disease, cavities, gum recession and even oral cancer.
Fee Increases
Another reason to use your dental benefits before the year ends is possible fee increases. Most of these fees increases occur at the beginning of the year.
Dental Problems Can Worsen
By delaying your dental treatment, you are risking more extensive and costly treatment. What may be just a simple cavity now could turn into a root canal problem later and maybe even lead to tooth loss.
Don’t Lose Your Dental Insurance Benefits: Use Them Today!
For most insurance plans, as of January 1, 2022, you will again be required to pay 100% of your yearly insurance deductible before your insurance provider pays any dental benefits.
Now is the perfect time to achieve the smile you’ve always wanted and seize the dental dollars you deserve!
If you have dental insurance, take a year-end check of your plan and see if you can set it to work for you. It really is a “use it or lose it” proposition. Don’t lose it.
