2. CLAIM SUBMISSION INFORMATION
Information for member
1. Complete your section of the claim form (items 1 through 21) in full to assure positive identification and
prompt payment. Please print or type.
Note: Item 8 (ID Number) must be completed for the claim to be processed.
2. Patient Consent. By signing item 20, the patient (or parent or other authorized representative) consents to
the use and disclosure of information relating to the services provided by the dentist or health care
professional for the purpose of treatment, payment, or health care operations, including submission of a claim
for dental benefits to a provider or administrator of dental benefit plans.
This consent will be valid for as long as the patient is entitled to coverage under a dental plan. You are
entitled to a copy of this consent. This consent may be revoked in writing delivered to your dentist or health
care professional, but such revocation will not affect any action taken in reliance on this consent prior to
revocation. Upon receipt of revocation or refusal to sign a consent, your dentist or health care professional
may decline to provide or continue treatment. If this consent is signed by the authorized representative of the
patient, the relationship of the authorized representative must be provided in item 20.
3. You must sign the claim form in item 21.
4. You can arrange for MetLife to make payment directly to the dentist by completing item 22. If you wish
benefits to be paid directly to yourself, do not complete item 22. In either case, a statement of benefits paid
will be sent to you.
5. If total charges for the planned course of treatment are expected to be $300 or more, the form should be
completed and submitted to MetLife prior to the commencement of the course of treatment for a
pretreatment estimate of benefits. MetLife will notify you of your benefits payable.
(If you wish, a pretreatment estimate may be requested for anticipated dental expenses of less than $300.)
6. If total charges for the planned course of treatment will be less than $300, the claim form should be
completed when treatment is completed and mailed or faxed to the address or fax number shown below.
Dental Coverage is subject to specific limitations and exclusions. Please refer to your booklet for a
description of covered services, schedule of benefits payable, limitations and exclusions.
Information for Attending Dentist
1. Benefits are payable in accordance with four Classes of Services. It is, therefore, important that a separate
fee is indicated for each item of service performed.
2. If total charges for a course of treatment are expected to be $300 or more, check the box noted
“Pretreatment estimate” and complete items 23 through 42. The completed claim form should be sent to the
address shown below prior to the commencement of the course of treatment. MetLife will review the
claim (and any supplementary information required) and notify your patient of the benefits payable.
3. If the address where treatment was performed is different from the mailing address in item 24, complete item 43.
4. Generally, we do not request x-rays where standard filling materials are used. Pre-operative
x-rays are requested only in connection with prosthetics, fixed bridgework, or cast restorations.
Occasionally, we may request x-rays that relate to other dental services.
In an effort to reduce your costs and inconvenience, we request your cooperation in submitting x-rays only
in the above-mentioned circumstances or when specifically requested.
This will also enable us to expedite the processing of a pretreatment estimate.
5. If authorized by the member, benefit payments will be made directly to you.
