Using your dental benefits
Here’s how to make the most of your dental benefits:
Choose a network provider.
Each time you need dental care, you have a choice of providers. Selecting a MetLife participating dentist will ensure you receive the highest benefits from your plan. To find a provider, go to MetLife
Present your plan identification information at your provider’s office.
The group number is 315674 and your member number is your Social Security number.
If your service will exceed $500, submit for a pre-treatment estimate.
You should always submit a request for a pre-treatment estimate for procedures and services your dentist believes will exceed $500 (procedures such as crowns, inlays, bridges, and periodontics). For more information about pre-treatment estimates, call MetLife at (800) 942-0854 or visit MetLife.
Check your claim status and other information at MetLife.
You can review Explanation of Benefits (EOB) statements, check if claims have been paid, and more.
