Tips for Using Your Health Fund Benefits

Many health funds reset at the end of the year, so it’s essential to understand your health fund benefits and use them before you lose them. Here are some tips that can help:

  • Know your reset date — Check your health fund to see when your benefits reset. Our dental team can assist you and answer your questions.
  • Review your coverage — Look into what type of dental coverage your health fund offers and investigate the coverage limitations.
  • Arrange preventive care — Most health funds allow for routine dental check-ups and cleans twice a year, so be sure to contact your dental clinic if it has been at least six months since your last visit.
  • Plan for more extensive treatment — If you need dental treatment, talk to your dentist about arranging for that treatment before the end of the year. This could help you get the most from your coverage.
