Maximize Your Dental Benefits for 2015!
2016 is right around the corner. Here's a guide on why, and how, you should use your 2015 dental benefits before they're gone!
We know the world of dental insurance benefits, deductibles, co-pays, etc. can be a maze to navigate. That’s why Dental Designs of White Marsh is always ready to answer questions to help you understand your insurance coverage, and how important it is to make your benefits work for you!
The holidays are coming up quick and we want to remind our patients to use their 2015 dental insurance benefits before they disappear.
You’ve already paid for your benefits; make sure you use them! Here are four things you need to know to maximize the benefits you’ve paid for:

- Any money you’ve already spent toward your deductible will roll back to zero on January 1, 2016. If you’ve met your deductible or are close to it, you could save money by completing treatments this year instead of next year. Call your insurance company to find out how much has been applied toward your deductible and what treatments might be covered.
- Preventive appointments, including exams, cleanings, and x-rays, are typically covered in full. Did you visit Drs. Weng & Santos twice this year? If not, call now to schedule another cleaning before the year-end deadline (and remember to schedule cleanings for your family members as well)! You’ve already paid for these valuable visits, don’t miss out!
- If you have a healthcare flexible spending account, you will lose any unused funds in it at the end of the year (or grace period, depending on your plan). Remember, these funds can be used for dental care!
- Delaying treatment could be costly. Avoiding treating a simple cavity now could turn into a root canal later. Prevent more extensive and costly treatments later by taking advantage of your benefits before the end of this year!
Most insurance plans will reset on January 1, 2016. You could save hundreds of dollars by taking advantage of your remaining benefits before the year ends. We encourage you to consider scheduling your appointment in the near future!
Contact our office at (410) 931-9400 today to schedule your appointment, or visit Dental Designs of White Marsh website for more details. We look forward to seeing you soon.
