Use it or Lose it!

When enrolled in a dental insurance policy, many individuals who are paying for dental insurance do not realize how much their plan covers or what services are covered through their policy. With most policies, patients are given annually a set amount in funds in which their insurance will pay towards their dental treatment. Uniquely, dental insurance does not act similarly to medical insurance—it effectively is a coupon off treatment costs and can cover only a percentage of specific procedures. Without knowing the information about your policy, some patients are not scheduling the dental treatment they need, deserve, and have insurance to cover. When patients are unsure about their policy and fail to use their benefit, insurance revenues allocated to pay dental claims on many patients are never used. Unfortunately, those dollars cannot be carried over year-to-year. The bottom line: what the patient does not use they lose! To add insult to injury, each year insurance companies make millions of dollars off of patients who don’t utilize their entire insurance benefit! We here at Longboard Dental, are here to help!
