Additional Network Information:
In-network refers to benefits provided under this program for covered dental services that are provided by a participating dentist. Out-of-network benefits refer to benefits provided under this program for covered dental services that are not provided by a participating dentist.
If a Covered Service is performed by an In-Network Dentist, We will base the benefit on the Covered Percentage of the Negotiated Fee Schedule. If an In-Network Dentist performs a Covered Service, You will be responsible for paying:
- the Deductible; and
- any other part of the Negotiated Fee for which We do not pay benefits.
If a Covered Service is performed by an Out-of-Network Dentist, We will base the benefit on the Covered Percentage of the Schedule Amount. Out-of-Network Dentists may charge You more than the Schedule Amount. If an Out-of-Network Dentist performs a Covered Service, You will be responsible for paying:
- the Deductible;
- any other part of the Schedule Amount for which We do not pay benefits; and
- any amount in excess of the Schedule Amount charged by the Out-of-Network Dentist.
The Negotiated Fee Schedule for a covered service is the amount that in-network dentists have agreed to accept as payment in full for certain services, subject to any co-payments, deductibles, cost sharing and benefits maximums. Negotiated fees are subject to change. Negotiated fees do not apply to non-covered services in states that prohibit limitations for services not covered under a plan. Participating providers in these states may charge their non-negotiated fees for non-covered services. Percentages shown are based on the Negotiated Fee Schedule, even when a covered service is provided by an out-of-network dentist, except in AK, NV, MA and MT. In these states, out-of-network percentages shown are based on a percentile of the reasonable and customary (R&C) charge. The R&C charge is based on the lowest of: (1) the dentist's actual charge for a covered service; (2) the dentist's usual charge for the same or similar services or (3) the usual charge of most dentists in the same geographic area for the same or similar services as determined by MetLife.
