Learn More About the Benefits of MetLife
Dental insurance is certainly a valuable asset. Whether you wish to maintain your oral health or get it back on track, your policy may significantly decrease the cost of high-quality care. Here at Comprehensive Dental Associates of Central Connecticut in East Hartford, we are proud to accept dental insurance. In fact, we are proud to serve as an in-network dentist with plans from many popular companies, including MetLife. How can we help you maximize your MetLife coverage? Continue reading below to find out.
MetLife Coverage Availability & Fees
MetLife offers a number of different dental plans, all of which are distinct in the features they offer. We suggest that you take time to review the details of your unique policy in order to get a grasp of its basic parameters. In the meantime, we can provide general information about the benefits that may be available through MetLife:
- It is common for MetLife plans to cover 100% of the cost of preventive care, including services like checkups, cleanings, and routine X-rays.
- Basic restorative treatments, such as fillings, may be up to 80% covered.
- 50% coverage is common for major treatments, often including bridges, crowns, and dentures.
Also, keep in mind that your plan may come with additional fees and stipulations. For example, PPO policies usually have a deductible, a waiting period, and an annual maximum. An annual maximum is the highest amount that MetLife will pay for approved services within a calendar year.
Since we are an in-network MetLife dentist, we have a contract with the company that manages fees. That means you are likely to get more value out of your annual maximum when you visit us, rather than an out-of-network practice. In certain cases, we can even split up major treatments between calendar years to allow for the use of two annual maximums instead of only one.
