MetLife Dental Plan

MetLife is our dental provider.

The MetLife PDP Plus network is a preferred provider organization (Dental PPO) plan consisting of a nationwide network of dentists and specialist. With the plan, you can go to any licensed dentist, in or out of network. In-network providers are always the better benefit, but the plan pays good rates even for out-of-network providers.

Two Plan Designs to Choose From

“Basic Dental Plan” and a “Buy-Up” Dental Plan.  The Buy Up Plan has an annual maximum benefit of $1500 per covered person and has orthodontic care for children under the age of 19; the Basic Plan has an annual maximum benefit of $1,000 per covered person.

Eligibility:

  • Full time employees (35+ hours per week). Benefits begin after 30 days of full-time employment.
  • Spouse – legally married
  • Dependent children up to the age 26.
  • Children who were determined to be disabled before their 19th birthday may be eligible to continue their insurance beyond the age of 26.

ID Cards:  ID cards are not necessary to obtain services and are not mailed out; however, members can download a generic card listing the group information.

For our dental plan, if you are receiving services from a non-network provider, there are two ways you can nominate a dentist to join the MetLife network:

  •  Your non-network dentist may provide MetLife with their information online at www.metdental.com to apply themselves, or
  • You can provide your dentist’s information online through MyBenefits and MetLife will send them an application.  You must have your MyBenefits account set up.  Once you log in to MyBenefits, select “Find a Provider,” enter your zip code and click “Nominate a Dentist.”
