Make The Most Of Your Health Insurance Before Your Deductible Resets

The end of the year will be here before we know it; already the stores are selling holiday decorations and food for holiday parties. We all get busy this time of year, but if you need to have any kind of medical procedure done, you should examine how close you are to meeting your health insurance deductible. If you are close to meeting your deductible or have already met it, it’s better to get any additional procedures done at the end of the current year, when you’ve already met your deductible and won’t have to pay as much out of pocket. If you are not close to meeting your deductible, it’s better to wait until the start of the next year to have procedures done to help you meet the next year’s deductible sooner.

Procedures To Consider Before Your Deductible Resets

Before you consider scheduling a procedure, you should check with your insurance carrier to make sure the procedure is covered. Procedures that are not covered by your insurance will not apply to your deductible. For most patients in Northern Michigan, the diagnosis and treatment of most vein disorders are covered by insurance. It is more likely that a medical treatment will be covered than a cosmetic treatment. You can complete a quick form on this page, and we can help you determine coverage.
