Dental insurance benefits can sometimes feel a little confusing. This is usually because of the “use it or lose it” policy that they operate under. This is a policy where unused dental benefits will not roll over into the subsequent year and therefore you need to be aware of them and make sure to take advantage of them for your oral health.
Understanding Dental Insurance
Dental benefit plans typically have a maximum amount that your dental insurance will contribute towards your dental services within a calendar year. The often-overlooked detail is that these benefits reset at the start of a new year, and your unutilised benefits don’t roll over.
Consequently this has some implications for our oral health. Delay in addressing pending dental issues or postponing preventive dental check-ups might not just escalate the dental problems but also lead to a financial loss in terms of forgotten health insurance benefits.
Benefits to Patients’ Oral Health and Wallet!
As the year gets closer to its end, now is the pivotal moment to revisit your dental treatment needs and align them with your remaining oral health insurance benefits. Taking part in preventive dental care not only protects your oral health but by using your remaining benefits, it also ensures that your money doesn’t go to waste.
From a simple cleaning, scaling, or filling, to more intricate procedures like dental implants or root canals, utilising your benefits can remarkably reduce your out-of-pocket dental fees. Besides, tending to your dental health proactively prevents future complications and therefore uncalled for expenses.
