Effective January 1, 2009, MetLife will become the dental insurance administrator. Along with this change, MetLife offers a Preferred Dentist Program (PDP) network to help maximize your dental benefits. However use of the network is not required for participation in the plan. By selecting a participating network dentist or specialist, you increase your savings, allowing your dental benefit dollars to go further. This will allow members to maximize their plan benefits by using the network while maintaining flexibility for those employees who wish to utilize an out of network provider.
You can obtain a list of PDP dentists online at www.metlife.com/mybenefits (enter “Gwinnett County Public Schools” for Company Name) or by calling 1-800-942-0854.
Late Entrant Penalty - If you do not enroll when first eligible (as a newly benefits eligible employee) and elect benefits at a later time, you will have reduced benefits for the first year. (50% reimbursement with a $375 maximum benefit on the Basic Plan and a $750 maximum benefit on the Premium Plan. Proof of loss of previous plan year dental coverage must be submitted within 31 days of application to waive this provision.)
