Don't Let Your Dental Benefits go Waste!
Do you know that insurance companies give a certain amount of funds yearly for your dental treatment? You can utilize these funds for your dental treatment anytime within the year. But if you don’t, the funds are withdrawn at the year-end. Do you utilize your insurance benefits fully?
Before we discuss how to utilize your insurance benefits, let us understand how they work.
Free Insurance Benefits? How Come
Why should insurance companies allocate funds for your dental treatment? It is not that they love your teeth. It is because they love their money. If you take the preventive treatment, you will not run into major dental issues demanding costly treatment. By offering preventing treatments like twice-yearly cleanings and checkups, they ensure that you don’t run into major dental problems. Why? Because primary dental treatment like fillings and root canal treatment would cost the company much larger amounts.
This strategy is mutually beneficial - the company saves funds, whereas you enjoy your pearly smile. Unfortunately, quite a few people are not aware of these options. It has been estimated that less than 3% of people who are members of PPO dental plans utilize their annual benefits entirely - and the allocated money goes quietly back into the pockets of the insurance companies.
Making the Most of Your Insurance Benefits
Now, how can you best utilize your “free” insurance benefits? The first and foremost step you should take is to get in touch with your insurance provider. Find out the details and terms and conditions of all the benefits that are available under your plan. Most common insurance plans provide twice-yearly professional teeth cleanings as well as preventive dental visits. Our staff and dentists at Tarzana Smile Design can also advise whether your insurance plan covers a treatment desired by you.
Life has become hectic. Some people may forego such benefits just because they did not find time to make an appointment with the dentist. This is an unwise policy. Your oral health is very important. Investing a little time towards your dental health can save you a lot of botheration and wasted hours later.
