Using your dental benefits

Here’s how to make the most of your dental benefits:

  • Choose a 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 0074219 and your member number is your Social Security number.
  • If your service will exceed $300, 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 $300 (procedures such as crowns, inlays, bridges, and periodontics). For more information about pre-treatment estimates, call MetLife at 1-800-942-0854 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.
