The beginning of the year is the best time to start a new, better habit—like getting the most out of your dental insurance benefits plan. Many people can’t afford dental insurance benefits. If you do have them, ask yourself, “How can I make the most out of my dental insurance benefits in 2018?”
Your insurance dentist in Hutchinson wants to help you maximize your benefits in this new year—and we’re here to help you!
If You Didn’t Take Advantage Last Year, Start Over This Year!
Most dental insurance plans provide dental coverage until you reach your annual maximum. If you didn’t really use your insurance at all this past year, you might have let your benefits go to waste. The good news is that since it’s a new year, you have a chance to develop a dental plan that will maximize your benefits this time around.
The annual maximums for dental insurance vary, but they are typically low—depending on your insurance provider of course. Most dental insurance maximums may range from $1,000 to $2,000. It’s best to check on these numbers, and the office team at your local practice would be happy to help you do that.
If you take the time to get the dental work you need as you need it rather than putting it off, your dental work could be covered by your annual maximums. After all, preventive care is much more cost-effective than any other dental care!
Don’t Make the Same Mistake as Last Year!
If you’ve been paying a premium for your dental insurance, you’ve learned that you’ve paid for some of your benefits. It’s time to take charge of this new year and your oral health by being proactive and scheduling your dental visits.
In fact, your preventive care will be covered—that’s right, the necessary dental care that your smile needs to stay strong and healthy! Start 2018 off with a scheduled dental exam, cleaning, and a personalized treatment plan for the upcoming months.
Here’s the Bottom Line
There are many ways of addressing dental care, but the best is to practice preventive care before restorative care. That’s why your insurance provider most likely covers all preventive care costs. Plus, your local Hutchinson dentist will be happy to review your plan alongside you, making sure that you understand what is covered and other ways to cover out of pocket costs.
