As the end of the year approaches, there’s one important thing you don’t want to forget: your dental benefits! Many dental insurance plans have annual maximums, meaning the amount your plan will contribute toward covered dental care may reset at the end of the year. If you don’t use your available benefits, you may lose the opportunity to take advantage of them.
At Nikhil Patel DMD, we encourage our patients to review their dental benefits now rather than waiting until the last minute. Your insurance may help cover preventive visits, cleanings, X-rays, fillings, crowns, and other necessary treatments, depending on your individual plan. Dr Nikhil Patel recommends checking your benefits and scheduling any needed appointments before the end-of-year rush.
Many dental plans operate on a calendar-year basis. This means your deductible, annual maximum, and certain covered services may reset when the new year begins. The American Dental Association notes that many dental plans have annual maximums that limit how much the plan will reimburse during a year.
For example, if your plan has an annual maximum and you have unused benefits remaining, those benefits generally do not roll over into the following year. That’s why Nikhil Patel DMD encourages patients to find out exactly what they have remaining before December 31.
If your dentist has recommended treatment, the end of the year can be a good time to take care of it—especially if you have already met your deductible or have benefits remaining. Delaying treatment could allow a small dental concern to become a larger, more complicated problem.
Dr. Patel and his team can help you understand your recommended treatment and work with you to make the most of your available benefits. Keep in mind that every dental insurance plan is different, so it’s important to verify your specific coverage, limitations, deductibles, and remaining maximum directly with your insurance provider.
December appointments can fill quickly as patients try to use their remaining benefits. Don’t wait until the last few weeks of the year to call your trusted and experienced Nikhil Patel DMD. Scheduling early gives you more flexibility and helps ensure you have time to complete recommended treatment before your benefits reset.
Whether you need a routine cleaning, dental X-rays, an exam, or treatment that you’ve been putting off, Dr. Patel is here to help you maintain a healthy, confident smile.
