Group Dental Insurance
Maintaining a healthy smile is essential to your overall health, but regular trips to the dentist can easily become a financial burden. The NYCPA Group Dental Insurance plan can help you manage your dental expenses. Our plan covers the cost of both preventive and emergency dental services, including exams, cleanings, fillings, and extractions, as well as crowns, bridges, and dentures.
Why Choose Us?
With the NYCPA Group Dental Insurance plan, you get:
- Choices: You will have access to thousands of dentists and specialists located throughout the country
- Quality: Each participating dentist has gone through a rigorous and ongoing review and selection process1
- Freedom: You can choose the dentist you want, regardless of whether he or she is inside or outside of our network2
- Efficiency: MetLife processes 90% of dental claims in just three business days.3
- Savings:4 Our negotiated fees are typically 35-50% less than average fees for the same or similar services charged by dentists in your area
1Certain providers may participate with MetLife through an agreement that MetLife has with a vendor. Providers available through a vendor are subject to the vendors credentialing process and requirements, not MetLife's. If you should have any questions, contact MetLife Customer Service.
2Your out-of-pocket costs may be greater when you visit a dentist who does not participate in the MetLife network.
3Based on MetLife data.
4Negotiated fees refer to the fees 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. Savings from enrolling in a dental benefits plan will depend on various factors, including the cost of the plan, how often participants visit a dentist and the cost of services rendered.
