Hey Everyone! It’s Victoria, the marketing and scheduling coordinator at First Impressions! I can’t believe how fast the year has gone by! It’s finally fall and I can feel the cooler weather in my bones. I love opening the windows and having a mixture of pumpkin candles with the crackle of leaves in the trees. My front porch is lined with pumpkins waiting to be carved with my family. Thanksgiving and Christmas are only a few weeks away. As the holidays grow closer a lot of your dental insurance benefits are about to expire and I want to help you maximize your insurance benefits!
For those of you with calendar year (January to December) insurance plans, the time has come to evaluate your insurance benefits and “use it or lose it!” Have you been putting off getting treatment? If so the time is now!
Proper dental Care and the need for completion of your treatment is a top priority to Dr. Jennifer. Letting your treatment go untreated can cause more expensive dental issues in the future and can ultimately compromise your overall health. Did you know a dental abscess can lead to sepsis if left untreated? We never want this to be the case with our patients. With our schedule filling up, I want to remind you to call and schedule to really maximize your insurance benefits.
Follow these simple steps to maximize your insurance benefits!
- Call your insurance company to determine your remaining benefits, as you know this will range per person per insurance company. This is why it’s so important to do your research and know what your insurance policy covers, this goes for medical and dental. The more you know the more you stay in control of your health.
- When calling your insurance company keep in mind if you have received dental care elsewhere your remaining benefits may be different than what we have on record.
- During your comprehensive exam, Dr. Jennifer evaluated your mouth and determined the priority of your treatment. When you call to schedule your appointment we can evaluate your overall max with the most important treatment items to see how many treatments we can take care of before the end of the year.
- Once January rolls around, we can schedule any treatment we have delayed for insurance benefits as soon as possible.
If you have any questions on insurance and treatment plans, please give our office a call. We look forward to the start of the holidays!
