🦷 Open enrollment is officially here! 📝✨
It is that time of year to review your workplace benefits and select your coverage for 2027. If you or anyone in your family might need braces, clear aligners, or retainers in the coming year, don't forget to check your dental plan options for orthodontic coverage!
Unlike standard dental cleanings, orthodontic benefits often require a specific tier of coverage or have separate lifetime maximums. Taking a few minutes to review your options now can save you thousands of dollars later.
Quick tips for this enrollment season:
🔍 Check the fine print: Verify if adult orthodontia is covered, or if it is restricted to dependents under 19.
💰 Look into an FSA or HSA: You can often pair your orthodontic insurance with a Flexible Spending Account (FSA) or Health Savings Account (HSA) to pay for out-of-pocket costs using pre-tax dollars!
⏳ Don't miss the deadline: The enrollment window is typically only open for a few weeks. Once it closes, you usually cannot make changes until next year.
Take a close look at your portal this week and set your smile up for success! 😁💼
