How it works While eating dinner one evening, I bit down and broke my crown. The next day, I visited my dentist, who participates in the MetLife network. The going rate for a crown in my area is about $1,462 . 1 But since my participating dentist has agreed to provide the service for $680 for covered MetLife enrollees, and my plan covers 50% for this type of procedure, my out-of-pocket costs were only $340 , that’s a savings of $1,122!
Dentists’ usual fee 1
Depending on the fees my dentist normally charges, this bill could have cost me over a thousand dollars. By using a participating dentist, I maximized my plan benefits and paid less than a quarter of the typical cost.*
