Check your calendar, and it’s hard to believe the days are quickly ticking toward the end of another year. Along with making plans for the holidays, it’s also the time when you need to quickly lock in your health insurance options, including your flexible spending account (FSA) for the year ahead.
Hilldale Dental understands how important those FSA dollars can be for you and your family. And it’s why our team wants to help you through the process. We want to be sure you leverage your purchasing power by getting the most out of every dollar of your dental benefits for your best oral health. The savings, according to a recent Mercer Survey, can add up to more than 20 percent!
How Does an FSA Work?
The basic way an FSA works is simple, as we shared in part one of this blog series:
- estimate your health care needs
- set aside the approximate amount, typically taken through a pre-tax paycheck deduction
- use it to cover certain approved health care expenses throughout the year
But some critical parts of the process, enrollment and planning, are happening now. These are two steps with deadlines attached, and it can be confusing to figure out on your own. It’s why we suggest making an appointment for a consultation at Hilldale Dental today. We can calculate the cost of any expected or potential dental treatments, which then makes budgeting your FSA for 2015, quick and easy.
You work hard for your insurance and benefits. Call us to help you schedule your plan. You may just find this a “special gift,” providing you with the dental health you seek, while reducing the costs for you and your family. Now, and throughout the new year.
