MetLife & Total Dental Administrators (TDA) | DHMO Dental Plans
With the Dental Health Maintenance Organization (DHMO) plans through MetLife and TDA, you are required to select a general
dentist to provide your dental care. You will contact your general dentist for all of your dental needs, such as routine check‐ups and
emergency situations. If specialty care is needed, your general dentist will provide the necessary referral. For covered procedures,
you'll pay the pre‐set copay or coinsurance fee described in your DHMO plan booklet. Please keep a copy of your booklet to refer
to when utilizing your dental care. This will show the applicable copays that apply to all of the dental services that are covered
under this plan. Please note the TDA plan is only for Arizona employees.
MetLife | DPPO Dental Plans
With the MetLife Dental Preferred Provider Organization (DPPO) dental plans, you may visit a DPPO dentist and benefit from the
negotiated rate or visit a non‐network dentist. When you utilize a DPPO dentist, your out-of-pocket expenses will be less. You may
also obtain services using a non-network dentist; however, you will be responsible for the difference between the covered amount
and the actual charges and you may be responsible for filing claims.
