How to Maximize Your BCBS Benefits
Get maximum value from your Blue Cross Blue Shield dental insurance with these strategies from our team.
- Use preventive coverage fully — BCBS covers two cleanings and exams yearly at 100%; schedule both to maintain health and prevent problems
- Know your benefit year — understand when coverage resets (often January 1); unused maximums don't carry over
- Plan expensive treatments strategically — split major work across two benefit years to access multiple years of maximum coverage
- Track your annual maximum — monitor remaining benefits throughout year to plan treatments before expiration
- Address issues early — small problems covered at 80% cost less than major procedures covered at 50%
- Verify orthodontic benefits — confirm if your BCBS plan includes orthodontic coverage before treatment
- Combine with FSA/HSA — pay deductibles and copayments with pre-tax dollars for additional savings
