Have you met your annual insurance deductible maximum? If so, now is the perfect time to make the most of your health benefits with little or no extra out-of-pocket costs.
Each year, health insurance policies come with a set deductible – the amount you’re responsible for paying before your insurance kicks in fully. Once you meet this deductible maximum, your insurance often covers the rest of your medical expenses for the year.
This opens the door to “free” appointments, exams, screenings, and treatments. If you’re not sure what to focus on, consider a year-end skin exam at Florida West Coast Skin and Cancer Center, led by Dr. Michael A. Scannon, a board-certified dermatologist with decades of experience.
Why a Year-End Skin Exam Matters
One appointment you shouldn’t skip, especially if it could be covered at no extra charge, is a comprehensive skin exam. Skin exams are crucial for detecting issues like skin cancer and other dermatological concerns. They can also be life-saving.Â
Florida’s sunny climate increases the risk of skin cancer, making regular screenings critical. With your deductible met, scheduling an exam now will allow you to focus on your skin health without worrying about extra costs.
The Importance of Regular Skin Cancer Screenings
Regular skin cancer screenings are essential to your general health and well-being. They are particularly necessary if you’re at higher risk because of factors like:
- Prolonged sun exposure
- A family history of skin cancer
- Previous skin cancer diagnoses
The American Academy of Dermatology recommends adults get annual skin exams. This allows them to catch potential problems early – when they’re most treatable. Now is the perfect time to book this vital preventive service while your insurance will cover the cost.
