What Is MetLife PPO?

MetLife PPO is a dental insurance plan offered by MetLife Insurance. PPO stands for “Preferred Provider Organization.” This type of plan gives you the freedom to choose from a large network of licensed dentists, including those who are in-network like us.

MetLife PPO is one of several dental insurance policies provided by MetLife, each with different coverage details and network participation options.

With MetLife PPO, you don’t need a referral to see a specialist. You can choose any dentist, but visiting an in-network provider helps you save money with reduced fees. The plan typically covers preventive care, basic services, and major dental treatments. Many people in New York have obtained MetLife PPO either independently or through their employer, and it’s one of the most widely accepted insurance options in the state.

Dental Services Covered by MetLife PPO

MetLife PPO plans usually divide dental services into three categories, including but not limited to preventive, basic, and major services. Here is a general overview of what may be covered:

Preventive Care – Usually Covered at 100%

Most plans fully cover routine preventive care. This includes services like dental exams, cleanings, and X-rays. These visits help keep your teeth and gums healthy and are typically free of charge to you.

Basic Services – Typically Covered at 70% to 80%

Basic services often include fillings, extractions, and gum treatments. These procedures may have some out-of-pocket costs, but they are still partially covered by your plan.

Major Services – Typically Covered at 50% to 60%

More complex treatments, such as root canals, crowns, dentures, and bridges, usually fall under major services. These services may involve higher costs, but MetLife dental insurance helps reduce the total expense.

Cosmetic services like teeth whitening or veneers may not be covered. However, our office offers financing options to make those treatments more affordable. Every MetLife plan is different, so we will gladly verify your benefits before starting treatment.

Maximize Your MetLife PPO Benefits Before They Expire

MetLife dental insurance works on a yearly cycle. Each year, your plan includes certain benefits, such as an annual maximum and a deductible. Understanding your plan's deductibles is important for managing your out-of-pocket costs, as they determine how much you pay before your insurance starts to cover services. If you do not use those benefits by the end of the year, they will expire. This means you may lose coverage you’ve already paid for through your premiums.

To avoid wasting your benefits, schedule your preventive care visits before the year ends. These appointments are usually covered in full and help prevent more costly problems in the future.

What to Bring to Your First Appointment

To help us get started and give you the best care, please bring the following items with you to your first visit:

• Your MetLife insurance card or a digital copy
• A government-issued photo ID
• Completed new patient forms (or arrive 15 minutes early to fill them out)
• A list of current medications and any allergies

If you’re not sure what your MetLife PPO plan covers, we are happy to help. Just give our office a call, and we’ll verify your benefits.

Are you in-network with MetLife PPO in New York?

Yes. InStyle Dental is an in-network provider with MetLife PPO in New York. Being in-network means you’ll receive care at lower, negotiated rates and enjoy more cost savings on services.

Will I have out-of-pocket costs?

You may have some costs depending on your deductible, copay, or the percentage your plan covers. We will provide clear cost estimates before any treatment begins, so there are no surprises.

What’s covered under my plan?

Most MetLife PPO plans cover preventive care like exams and cleanings at 100%. Basic services like fillings are often partially covered, while major treatments like crowns may also be included with different coverage levels. Each plan is different, so we’ll review your coverage in detail.

What if I have both MetLife PPO and HSA or FSA funds?

If you have a Health Savings Account (HSA) or a Flexible Spending Account (FSA), you can use those funds to pay for costs not covered by your MetLife plan. We can help you combine both benefits to lower your out-of-pocket expenses.

Can I use my plan if I’m out-of-network?

Yes, you can still use your MetLife PPO plan with out-of-network dentists. However, your out-of-pocket costs may be higher. By choosing an in-network dentist like InStyle Dental, you’ll usually pay less.
