Do you capitalize on promoting a patient’s Health Savings Account when discussing the financial investment of treatment? Did you know that companies often contribute to an employee’s HSA annually and they can use those funds to pay for their treatment? Often times, patients don’t realize they have this benefit available to them. When you’re presenting treatment, make sure to educate the patient on this scenario. In addition to verifying orthodontic insurance benefits provided to them, have them check if their company offers and/or contributes to an HSA. Then encourage them to contribute, as well, and use PRE-TAX dollars to pay for treatment. You can also set up autopay directly from an HSA.
