It’s no secret that 2020 has been a tough year, which makes 2021 one of the most anticipated years on record, and for good reasons. Why not welcome in a new year by saying “Goodbye” to old injuries and “Hello” to a new you! Don’t postpone getting that treatment you want, and the treatment you deserve. Now is the time to take care of your health!
As 2020 comes to a close, you may have reached your out-of-pocket insurance deductibles. If so, this is the perfect time to address your discomfort or mobility issues. With flexible holiday schedules and no deductibles, what are you waiting for?
Act Fast to Maximize Your Health Benefits
Too many patients avoid seeking treatment for troublesome conditions simply because they don’t want to pay a fee to be seen by a professional. Most insurance plans come with a predetermined deductible, which needs to be met before services will be covered partially or entirely by your insurance provider.
You begin contributing to your deductible via both planned and perhaps unplanned visits to medical professionals throughout the year. The costs associated with these visits often add up more quickly than you think, so you may be close to reaching your deductible.
Once the year is over, a new deductible will take effect, leaving you back at the starting point for another year of costs and fees. This is exactly what makes the last few months of the year an opportune time to address your most pressing needs for orthopaedic care.
In addition to reviewing your health insurance deductible, now is also an excellent time to check your FSA (Flexible Spending Account), if you have one. An FSA is an account used to pay for healthcare expenses, but the funds expire at the end of the year – any money left over is forfeited. Schedule an appointment now to use up this benefit before the end of the year!
