Many people don\u2019t realize that unused benefits typically don\u2019t roll over into the new year. Here\u2019s how to ensure you get the most from your plan before December 31st.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Use it or lose it!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Most insurance plans have an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.labfinder.com\/2023\/11\/meet-your-deductible\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">annual deductible<\/a>\u2014the amount you pay before your insurance starts covering costs. By the end of the year, if you\u2019ve already met your deductible, you can save significantly on medical expenses since your insurance will cover more, or even all, of your visit costs. Delaying until January means starting over with a fresh deductible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What can be covered?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Now is the time to consider scheduling important procedures, tests, or treatments you\u2019ve been postponing, such as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.labfinder.com\/2024\/06\/what-annual-health-tests-should-i-book\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Preventive screenings<\/a> (mammograms, colonoscopies, etc.)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Diagnostic tests (MRIs, X-rays)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Elective surgeries<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Dental checkups<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Physical therapy sessions<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Many insurance plans also cover annual wellness visits, flu shots, and other preventive services at little to no cost, so check with your provider about what\u2019s included.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What\u2019s needed to use your benefits?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>To maximize your insurance benefits:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Review Your Plan<\/strong>: Contact your insurance company to understand what\u2019s covered and how much of your deductible you\u2019ve met.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Schedule Appointments<\/strong>: Call your doctor\u2019s office soon\u2014end-of-year appointments fill up quickly. Some procedures may require pre-authorization, which can take a week or two.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Verify Coverage<\/strong>: Ask your provider to verify insurance coverage for specific services, so there are no surprises later.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Long Does It Take?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Scheduling your appointments should be done as early as possible. Keep in mind:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Routine visits<\/strong> can be booked within 1-2 weeks.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Specialized treatments or surgeries<\/strong> may take longer, especially if prior authorization is needed from your insurance.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Take action now to maximize your benefits before they reset in January!<\/strong><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As the end of the year approaches, it&#8217;s important to take full advantage of your health insurance
