All too fast, summer is ending, school is back in session and the time between now and the end of the year seems to fly by. 

Many of our patients have dental insurance, cafeteria plans or flex funds that expire at the end of the year.  We will be happy to do everything possible to help you maximize your benefits.  We are writing this note to remind you to schedule your dental appointments soon to help you fully utilize your benefits.

Your insurance policy allows for a certain dollar amount of coverage each year.  If you do not use your coverage during the year, you lose those benefits (unused coverage does not carry over to the next year).  Cafeteria plans and flex funds also do not carry over to the next year.

Although treatment never is dictated by an insurance policy, our experience has shown that careful planning often can maximize benefits.  Our goal for each of our patients is to help you enjoy the benefits of good oral health, to look good, to feel good, have strong teeth and gums and maintain a healthy and attractive smile throughout your life.  We often can plan necessary treatment to take full advantage of your insurance coverage, cafeteria plan or flex fund.  If you are considering treatment or simply concerned about any aspect of your oral health, it may be useful to schedule an appointment before the end of the year.  We also wanted to let you know that the office will be closed from December 24 through December 28.

If you have any questions, or would like to schedule an appointment, please call Connie (scheduler@larryfoxdds.com) or Jeny (financial@larryfoxdds.com) at 703-978-5253.

We wish you an enjoyable fall season.Have a happy Thanksgiving and Merry Christmas. As always, we are accepting  new patients and appreciate the referrals.
