Maximise Your Health Fund Benefits Before the Year Ends

As the year draws to a close, now is the perfect time to assess whether you’ve made the most of your health fund benefits, especially when it comes to major dental coverage. Many health insurance policies operate annually, meaning any unused benefits won’t roll over into the new year. By acting now, you can avoid losing out on valuable coverage and ensure your oral health stays in top shape.

What Major Dental Treatments Are Covered?

Major dental services typically include treatments like crowns, bridges, dental implants, root canals, dentures, and orthodontics. These procedures are often more extensive than regular check-ups and cleanings, making them essential for restoring function, improving aesthetics, and maintaining oral health.

If you’ve been postponing a necessary dental procedure, now is the time to schedule it. Delaying treatment could lead to more significant oral health issues and increased costs down the road.

Why Act Before the Year Ends?

1. Avoid Losing Unused Benefits
   Most health funds reset on January 1, meaning unused benefits will be forfeited. By scheduling your treatments now, you make the most of your annual coverage and avoid missing out on the benefits you’ve already paid for.
2. Start Treatment for Extended Procedures
   For major dental work requiring multiple appointments, beginning treatment allows you to utilize this year’s benefits and continue into the next year under the new coverage period.
3. Beat the Year-End Rush
   Dental practices get busier as December approaches. Booking your appointment early ensures you secure a spot and complete your treatment in time.

 

How to Maximise Your Benefits

• Review your policy to understand what’s covered and confirm any remaining benefits.
• Contact your health fund to estimate how much of your treatment costs will be covered.
• Schedule a consultation to plan and prioritize treatments based on your needs.
