The service categories and plan limitations shown in this document represent an overview of your plan benefits, but are not a complete description of the plan. Before making any purchase or enrollment decision you should review the certificate of insurance which is available through MetLife or your employer. In the event of a conflict between this overview and your certificate of insurance, your certificate of insurance governs. Like most group dental insurance policies, MetLife group policies contain certain exclusions, limitations and waiting periods and terms for keeping them in force. The certificate of insurance sets forth all plan terms and provisions, including all exclusions and limitations. *Alternate Benefits: Your dental plan provides that if there are two or more professionally acceptable dental treatment alternatives for a dental condition, your plan bases reimbursement, and the associated procedure charge, on the least costly treatment alternative. If you and your dentist have agreed on a treatment that is more costly than the treatment upon which the plan benefit is based, you will be responsible for any additional payment responsibility. To avoid any misunderstandings, we suggest you discuss treatment options with your dentist before services are rendered, and obtain a pretreatment estimate of benefits prior to receiving certain high cost services such as crowns, bridges or dentures. You and your dentist will each receive an Explanation of Benefits (EOB) outlining the services provided, your plan’s reimbursement for those services, and your out-of-pocket expense.
