Along with co-payments and deductibles, which vary from plan to plan. Co-payments represent the percentage of each treatment\u2019s cost that you, as the patient, are responsible for covering out of pocket, whereas a deductible is a fixed amount required prior to any coverage being available from your policy provider.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At Patriot Family Dental, we understand how important it is for our patients to get coverage for their regular preventative care like <a href=\"https:\/\/patriotfamilydentalep.com\/dental-cleanings-deep-cleanings.html\">cleanings and checkups<\/a> as well as necessary treatments like fillings or more advanced procedures like <a href=\"https:\/\/patriotfamilydentalep.com\/dental-implants-el-paso-tx.html\">implants<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/patriotfamilydentalep.com\/root-canal-save-tooth-el-paso-tx\/\">root canals<\/a>. That\u2019s why we offer a broad range of services designed to accommodate almost any health plan our patients currently have \u2013 or will have during 2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why does insurance renew every year?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>So why does your insurance need to renew on an annual basis? Every year, health plans adjust their premiums and often update the types of coverage they provide \u2013 so it\u2019s important to keep updated on this information so you don\u2019t miss out on new benefits available under your policy. Plus, there could be changes in monthly premiums or prerequisites that must be met prior to certain treatments being covered without out-of-pocket costs on your part. Faulty filings can also lead to added complexity when filing a claim for reimbursement, leaving you stuck paying most, if not all, dental repair costs yourself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Stay informed with Patriot Family Dental<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>At Patriot Family Dental in El Paso TX, we want you to be fully informed about your dental insurance coverages and options before making any decisions about treatment plans.

We understand how important it is that everyone gets access to quality dentistry \u2014 which is why we emphasize preventive care over-reactive care whenever possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">We can answer any of your questions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>So if you haven&#8217;t already taken advantage of this year&#8217;s new insurance benefits, now&#8217;s the time!
