Learn How to Maximize Your MetLife Benefits
Taking care of your smile at home with a good oral hygiene routine is important. But if you want to enjoy a more comprehensive form of preventive care, you need to make time to see your dentist for regular dental checkups and cleanings. If you’ve put off your twice-yearly exams because you fear that you’ll be unable to cover the cost, consider using your dental insurance. Choosing a MetLife dentist in Pittsburgh will help you save each time you receive preventive or restorative care. All you need to do is call our office and schedule an appointment. A member of our team will take down your information and begin finding ways to maximize your plan when you arrive.
MetLife Coverage Availability & Fees
Having a clear understanding of your available MetLife benefits makes it easier when preparing to receive dental care of any kind. What you will find is that while each plan is different, the available coverage provided by MetLife looks something like the following:
- 80-100% of preventive services are covered (i.e., dental checkups and cleanings)
- 70-80% of minor restorative services are covered (i.e., dental fillings)
- 50% of major restorative services are covered (i.e., dental crowns, dentures)
Choosing to see an in-network dentist has its benefits, as you can expect to save more than if you were to choose someone who is out of network with MetLife. At our dental office, we take the time to pre-negotiate with insurance companies to establish set fees and terms, making it possible for you to avoid high out-of-pocket expenses during your visits.
While you may still be responsible for a co-pay or meeting your deductible, your dental insurance will help cover more of the cost once you reach the specified amount that is required in your plan. Should you require restorative care, your MetLife insurance company will determine how much of your annual maximum remains before paying their portion of the bill, but our team will always make every effort to keep treatment affordable.
For example, if a service requires that you pay more out of pocket because you are nearing your annual maximum, we may be able to split your care over calendar years.
