That means, with less than two months to go until 2013, many patients will see their current dental benefits expire soon. Which is why we wanted to use today\u2019s post to talk about what that means so you can make the most of what you have while you still have it.\n\nFor most plans, dental benefits don\u2019t rollover from one year to the next. Instead, they\u2019re renewed. That means you\u2019ll be facing a new deductible next year that you\u2019ll need to pay before your insurance company starts covering care. If you\u2019ve paid your deductible for 2012, why put off important care till next year\u2014when you\u2019ll have a new deductible to pay\u2014when you could do it now and benefit from the help your insurance provides?\n\nAnother reason to use your benefits now is that your premiums or co-pays may be different next year. Without knowing what they will be, it can be difficult to plan for next year. But because you know what your current fees are, you can make plans now for getting the care you need.\n\nDo you already know you need care? Is it time for your next checkup and cleaning<\/a>? Don\u2019t wait until next year to get started. Call<\/a> Giamberardino Dental Care<\/strong> in Medford<\/strong> today to reserve your appointment.
