Dental Plan Choices


         METLIFE | PPO PLAN
         This plan offers you the freedom and flexibility to use the dentist of your choice. However, you will maximize your benefits and
         reduce your out-of-pocket costs if you choose a dentist who participates in the MetLife network. When you utilize a network den-
         tist, your out-of-pocket expenses will be less, however, you will usually pay the lowest amount for services when you visit a PPO
         dentist.  If  you  obtain  services  using  a  non-network  dentist,  you  will  be  responsible  for  the  difference  between  the  covered
         amount and the actual charges and you may be responsible for filing claims. The chart below provides a high-level overview of
         your dental plan.

           for a predetermination if total charges are ex-
           pected to exceed $300. Predetermination ena-
           bles  you  and  your  dentist  to  know  in  advance
           what the payment will be for any service that
           may be in question.
