Your family is always busy, and you may be particularly so\nduring the last few months of the year. You may be making plans for winter\ntravels, preparing for get-togethers with your relatives, and shopping until\nyou drop. In all the year-end chaos, it would be easy to forget to bring your child\nto their dentist in Midland for a checkup or recommended restorative treatment.\nHowever, you should not let your family\u2019s oral health slip your mind! If you\nwait until 2020 to schedule your child\u2019s appointment, you will have missed out\non valuable insurance<\/a>\nbenefits. Let\u2019s discuss how you can get the most out of this year\u2019s policy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Benefits Don\u2019t Roll Over<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Most PPO dental plans work on a calendar year basis. At the\nbeginning of the year, you are given an annual maximum that you can put toward\ncare for your family. At the end of the year, whatever portion of that maximum you\nhave not used disappears. It does not roll over into the following year. Most policyholders\n(over 95 percent, according to the National Association of Dental Plans) do not\neven come close to taking full advantage of their maximums. That amounts to an\nastronomical sum of lost benefits each year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Take a look at your family\u2019s insurance policy. What is your\nannual maximum? Have you come close to using it? If not, now is the time to\nschedule a visit to your pediatric dentist in Midland for covered services so\nyou can get more value out of your policy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
