MetLife Coverage Availability & Fees

MetLife provides a number of different insurance plans, so you should examine the details of your unique policy in order to understand exactly how it works and how it applies in various situations. In the meantime, here is a basic overview of how a lot of standard PPO insurance plans work:

Preventive care (cleanings, exams, X-rays, etc.): 100% covered.
Minor services (simple extractions, fillings, etc.): 80% covered.
Major services (crowns, dentures, oral surgery, etc.): 50% covered.

Also, keep in mind that your plan may have a deductible, a waiting period before you are eligible for certain services, and an annual maximum. An annual maximum is the yearly limit on how much MetLife will pay out for approved services. Because we are in-network with MetLife, we have a contract with them that controls prices. Therefore, you can expect to derive the greatest value possible from your annual maximum.

We might even be able to suggest strategies to help you get more out of your benefits. For example, we may schedule major services across multiple appointments between calendar years. Therefore, you could use two annual maximums instead of only one.
