Now that December is here, it won’t be long until we’re taking down our calendars for 2017 and replacing them with ones for 2018. For most, the focus of the month is primarily on gift giving and holiday preparations, but there’s something else you should add to your year-end checklist: one last checkup with your dentist. Why should you include a dental appointment in your December activities? There are a few reasons.
Yearly Maximum
Your insurance company allots a yearly maximum to help you pay for certain kinds of services and procedures. Unfortunately, that money doesn’t rollover from one year to the next. Any amount you don’t use, you will lose at the end of the year.
Deductible
Your deductible will be renewed every year, too. Before your insurance provider will start covering your care, you have to meet your deductible. In many cases, this amount is around $50.
Insurance Fees
Additionally, you may find that your premiums and co-pays from one year to another are different. But without knowing what they’ll be for 2018, it’s a good idea to take advantage of what you already have before it changes.
