Ameritas dental coverage ends December 31, 2019. If you want dental coverage for yourself and your dependents in 2020, you'll need to enroll now in one of our new MetLife plans.
Faculty and staff have two MetLife plan choices: Dental Standard and Dental Plus. MetLife’s Preferred Dentist program allows you the flexibility to visit a provider in-network or out-of-network. If you decide to see an in-network (participating) dentist, your benefit will be higher and you will pay less. You can also see an out-of-network provider but you will receive a lesser benefit and pay more. Vision care benefit is now a separate plan.
To find a participating dentist check online at www.metlife.com/cornell/ or call 800-942-0854.
For a detailed overview of MetLife's dental coverage, including limitations, exclusions, and orthodontia coverage information, please refer to the MetLife 2020 Endowed Dental Benefit Guide.
