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.
