Since we close for the last two weeks in August many of our patients who we saw in August who need dental work are likely to schedule their next visit after labor day when we reopen. Since most dental insurance plans renew annually starting Jan 1rst, many of our insured patients have only the next 4 months to use their remaining dental benefits. Most that are in need multiple procedures prefer that we sent in a pre-certification to their insurance company prior to commencing treatment since this will help them determine out of pocket costs.
The problem is that some of the insurance companies are getting more slow at processing pre-certfications and claims. It is not that unusual for them to claim that they haven't received our mailed documents. So the point of this post is to encourage our patient to not delay scheduling their continuing care appointments ( check up and cleanings as well as completing any planned treatment), This will allow these these to be billed to their insurance in 2022 instead of 2023, because otherwise they are "leaving money on the table".
If you know that you have treatment that is needed or are due for a checkup and cleaning, why not schedule your appointment today. Even though we are currently closed an appointment can be booked by visiting our office website:lspindeldds.com and using our convenient button that allows booking an appointment online , 24 hours a day.
