While you\u2019re making plans for November and December, don\u2019t forget to visit your Delta Dental dentist in Chaska. These insurance plans run on a calendar year, and that means any money you have left to your name is at-risk of disappearing when the clock strikes 12 on New Year\u2019s Eve. But there\u2019s still time to save!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What to Know about Dental Insurance<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dental insurance is a great investment, but only if you know how to use it. And the truth is that figuring out what\u2019s what between deductibles, annual maximums, in-network\/out-of-network, and other details can be quite a challenge. It\u2019s not impossible to figure out what\u2019s what with your coverage, though. Here are the important things to know about dental insurance:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Plans begin on on selected dates throughout the year. You have a full year to meet your deductible and take advantage of all benefits up to your annual maximum, which may be as much as $1,500. <\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Two checkups and cleanings are \u201cfree\u201d (or at least 80% covered) each year with dental insurance because you pay for them up front through your monthly premium. By incentivizing important preventive care, your insurance provider wants to make it easier for you to avoid costly procedures like fillings, root canals, dental implants, and other treatments. <\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Visiting an in-network dentist is the best way to take advantage of your coverage. They can see the details of your plan and also help you to reduce out-of-pocket costs. <\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Funds in a Flexible Spending Account (FSA) usually will not roll over from one year to the next, either. You can use the leftover money to cover dental care and appliances. <\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How to Maximize Your Coverage<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fortunately, it is not too late to visit the dentist in the interest of your smile and your wallet. When you call your in-network dental office and let them know you are trying to maximize your dental insurance coverage, you may receive one or more of the following tips to help you stretch your benefits:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Schedule a checkup and cleaning if you have not had 2 in 2018. You or your employer have already paid for these services, so make sure they do not go to waste. <\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Complete any open treatment plans if you still have money left toward your annual maximum. <\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Book all necessary treatments as soon as possible to ensure that treatment plans can be completed before the year is up. November and December are always busy at the dentist\u2019s office, and some services take multiple appointments to complete. Don\u2019t wait another day to act!<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To conclude, time is running out to cash in on your dental insurance benefits\u2026 but it\u2019s certainly not too late! Book a visit with your in-network dentist ASAP. <\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Meet the Practice<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Chaska Dental Center is known for providing award-winning care for friends and neighbors of all ages and stages of life.
