May 14, 2024

Use It Or Lose It!

Are you utilising your Private Health Insurance benefits? Take advantage of your dental extras before they expire at the end of the financial year (EOFY). Use it or lose it!

Most health funds operate on a calendar year, meaning your benefits expire on December 31st. However, many popular funds also run over the financial year.

For most of us, the end of the financial year means getting our taxes in order, but it’s also a good time to maximise your health fund’s dental extras before they expire on June 30.

If you are a member of any health fund mentioned above, we’re here to remind you that your dental extras are about to expire. If you have been putting off your routine check-up and clean, maximise your health benefits before they reset!

Making the most of your dental extras allows you to take advantage of services such as check-ups, cleans, and x-rays, which are typically fully or partially covered by your health fund. These preventive measures can help identify and address dental issues early on, saving you time and money in the long run!

If you require more extensive dental work, such as fillings, crowns, or bridges, utilising your benefits before they reset can help offset some of the costs.

Many health funds offer coverage for major dental procedures. The coverage amount will vary depending on your plan. By scheduling these treatments before the end of the financial year, you can maximise your benefits and minimise your out-of-pocket expenses.

Some health funds may provide rebates for specific cosmetic dental procedures, such as teeth whitening or composite and porcelain veneers. Take advantage of these rebates to enhance the appearance of your smile!

It is essential to be proactive about your oral health. Schedule regular check-ups and address any dental issues promptly! By utilising your preventive and restorative dental benefits, you can maintain a healthy smile and get the most out of your private health fund coverage.
