As the year winds down, don’t let your dental benefits go to waste! Many insurance plans reset on January 1st, which means unused benefits (like cleanings, exams, or treatments) don’t roll over. Here’s how to make sure your family gets the most out of your plan:
✅ 1. Check Your Insurance Portal
Most dental insurance providers have an online portal or app. Log in to see:
- Remaining benefits for the year
- Covered services (like cleanings, sealants, fluoride treatments)
- How much of your deductible has been met
✅ 2. Call Your Insurance Company
If the portal feels confusing, call the customer service number on the back of your card. Ask:
- “What benefits do I still have available this year?”
- “Does my plan have out of network coverage?”
- “When does my plan reset?”
✅ 3. Ask Our Front Desk Team
We check benefits for families every day! Our team can:
- Help verify what’s left on your plan
- Estimate coverage for upcoming treatments
- Schedule your child before benefits reset
✅ 4. Don’t Forget FSA or HSA Funds
If you have a Flexible Spending Account (FSA) or Health Savings Account (HSA), those funds can often be used for dental visits, too. Be sure to use them before deadlines!
