Yes! If your plan operates on a calendar year system, which most do, your benefits start in January and end on December 31st.
This means that on January 1st, you have new benefits, maximums, and deductibles if your plan has them. Here's what you should know.
A Dental Insurance Overview
Having a general understanding of how your dental insurance works will help you learn how you can maximize your benefits.
Most plans have a yearly maximum amount they will pay for treatment, typically around $1000 to $2000. Some plans have deductibles that must be paid before they cover treatment, typically $50 to $200. Some plans have treatment limitations or waiting periods before certain procedures can be done.
A Focus on Prevention
Did you know that most dental insurance plans cover preventive teeth cleanings, x-rays, and exams? This means that you'll have minimal expense for your biannual visits, sometimes none at all.
These visits play an integral role in protecting your smile and dental health. Our dentists can spot problems like tooth decay and gum disease during these visits before they become more serious and expensive to treat.
