The MetLife Dental Difference A good dental benefits plan can be an important part of good oral health.

That’s why MetLife, through CoPower, is offering access to two great plan options—a Dental Health Maintenance Organization (DHMO)1 and a Dental Preferred Provider Organization (DPPO).2

DHMOThe DHMO plan offers a wide range of dental benefits through a network of participating dentists at a cost considerably lower than the fees typically charged.3 Members must preselect a participating dentist who is responsible for day-to-day care and members are only responsible for the copayments listed in the Benefit Grid. There are no annual maximums, deductibles, or claims.

DPPOThe MetLife Preferred Dentist Program provides both coverage for a broad range of services and the flexibility to visit any dentist, regardless of network status. Participating dentists have agreed to accept negotiated fees as payment in full, for covered services.4 This means out-of-pocket costs are 15–45% less than the average fees charged by dentists in the same community!

Additional Benefits• The DPPO dental network includes a broad national network, with greater access to thousands of general dentists and specialists

when you stay in the network.

• The DHMO dental network includes over 10,399 participating network dentist access points in California as of 1/1/15.

• The DHMO plan offers more than 400 covered services.5

• Employees can view and manage their dental benefits online.

SUITEVision Through VSP VSP’s vision plans are good for your clients’ eyes as well as their wallets! There’s no need to cut coupons or wait for retail chain sales—the savings and benefits are already built into the VSP plans.

Members get full-service vision plans that provide comprehensive coverage and value with competitive rates. VSP provides:

• Your clients what their employees want most—the lowest out-of-pocket costs. With competing vision plans, employees could pay hundreds more for the same glasses.

• Your clients’ employees with the widest selection of eyewear through the largest network of independent doctors and 1,000 retail chain locations such as Costco Optical.

• Early detection of chronic conditions like diabetes and high cholesterol. This means healthier, more productive employees, and lower healthcare costs for your clients.

1 Dental HMO plan benefits are provided by: SafeGuard Health Plans, Inc., a California corporation in CA. “DHMO” is used to refer to product designs that may differ by state of residence of the enrollee, including but not limited to: “Specialized Health Care Service Plans” in California.

2 Group dental insurance policies featuring the Preferred Dentist Program are underwritten by Metropolitan Life Insurance Company, New York, NY 10166.3 Savings from enrolling in a dental benefits plan will depend on various factors, including how often participants visit the dentist and the cost of services received. 4 Negotiated fees for non-covered services may not apply in all states. Negotiated Fees refers to the fees that in-network dentists have agreed to accept as payment in full,

subject to any copayments, deductibles, cost sharing and benefits maximums.5 Copayments apply for many covered procedures and vary by procedure.6 Human Capital Management Services, Inc. (HCMS) study on behalf of VSP, 2010.

Health Management ProgramFor every initial $1 invested in VSP exam services, clients can expect an average two-year total return of $1.27 through avoided medical costs and improved human capital performance.6

Term Life Benefits through MetLife MetLife can help employers provide a valuable solution to address a top concern of full-time employees—the impact of premature death on their family’s security.

Basic Term Life is a core employer-paid benefit that helps meet a portion of a family’s income needs in the event of premature death. Basic Term Life is solid protection that can meet the diverse needs of employees. Plus, employers with 10 or more employees have the option to allow their employees to purchase additional coverage for themselves and their dependents.1

Travel Assistance

As part of the Supplemental Life offering, the Travel Assistance Program offers enrolled employees and their families access to emergency services while travelling domestically or internationally.

Services include:

• A toll-free 800 number.

• Emergency medical services.

• Some non-emergency services such as help with visa and/or passport requirements.

Identity Theft Solutions

Another program offered in conjunction with MetLife’s Supplemental Life offering is their Identity Theft Solutions. This program educates employees on preventing an identity theft occurrence. In addition, it provides personal assistance and guidance to help alleviate the stress and time burden that victims often face.

Employees are provided with:

• Education regarding identity theft.

• A toll-free 800 number where service providers are available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

More for Your Loved Ones• Accelerated Benefits Option®: For access to funds during difficult times

• Conversion: For protection after coverage terminates

• Waiver of Premiums for Total Disability (Continued Protection): Offers continued coverage when it’s needed most

• Portability: So employees can keep their coverage even if they leave their employment

• Will Preparation Service: To help ensure decisions are fulfilled2

• MetLife Estate Resolution ServicesSM: Personal service and compassion to help beneficiaries and others manage an estate2

• Total Control Account®: For immediate access to death proceeds

• MetLife Advice® Program: Advice program to assist employees with various life transitions. Employees can view and manage their dental benefits online.

1 Travel Assistance and Identity Theft Solutions services are administered by AXA Assistance USA, Inc. Certain benefits provided under the Travel Assistance program are underwritten by the United States Fire Insurance Company, a member of the Crum & Forster group of insurers. AXA Assistance and the Crum & Forster group are not affiliated with MetLife and its affiliates, and the services and benefits they provide are separate and apart from the insurance provided by MetLife.

The supplemental compensation percentage may be based on: (1) the number of Products sold through your Intermediary during a prior one-year period; (2) the amount of premium or fees with respect to Products sold through your Intermediary during a prior one-year period; (3) the persistency percentage of Products inforce through your Intermediary during a prior one-year period; (4) premium growth during a prior one-year period; (5) a fixed percentage of the premium for Products as set by MetLife. The supplemental compensation percentage will be set by MetLife prior to the beginning of each calendar year and it may not be changed until the following calendar year. As such, the supplemental compensation percentage may vary from year to year, but will not exceed 8% under the current supplemental compensation plan.

effect that receipt of accelerated benefits will have on public assistance eligibility for you, your spouse or your family. Life and AD&D coverage are provided under a group insurance policy (Policy Form GPNP99) issued to your employer by MetLife. Life and AD&D coverage under your employer’s plan terminates when your employment ceases, when your Life and AD&D contributions cease, or upon termination of the group contract. Dependent Life coverage will terminate when a dependent no longer qualifies as a dependent or when a dependent (spouse/domestic partner) reaches age 70. Should your life insurance coverage terminate for reasons other than non-payment of premium, you may convert it to a MetLife individual permanent policy without providing medical evidence of insurability.

The cost of supplemental compensation is not directly charged to the price of our Products except as an allocation of overhead expense, which is applied to all eligible group insurance products, whether or not supplemental compensation is paid in relation to a particular sale or renewal. As a result, your rates will not differ by whether or not your Intermediary receives supplemental compensation. If your Intermediary collects the premium from you in relation to your Products, your Intermediary may earn a return on such amounts. Additionally, MetLife may have a variety of other relationships with your Intermediary or its affiliates, or with other parties, that involve the payment of compensation and benefits that may or may not be related to your relationship with MetLife (e.g., insurance and employee benefits exchanges, enrollment firms and platforms, consulting agreements, or reinsurance arrangements). More information about the eligibility criteria, limitations, payment calculations and other terms and conditions under MetLife’s base compensation and supplemental compensation plans can be found on MetLife’s Web site at www.metlife.com/brokercompensation. Questions regarding Intermediary compensation can be directed to [email protected], or if you would like to speak to someone about Intermediary compensation, please call (800) ASK 4MET. In addition to the compensation paid to an Intermediary, MetLife may also pay compensation to your MetLife sales representative. Compensation paid to your MetLife sales representative is for participating in the sale, servicing, and/or renewal of Products, and the compensation paid may vary based on a number of factors including the type of Product(s) and volume of business sold. If you are the person or entity to be charged under an insurance policy or annuity contract, you may request additional information about the compensation your MetLife sales representative expects to receive as a result of the sale or concerning compensation for any alternative quotes presented, by contacting your MetLife sales representative or calling (866) 796-1800.L0615427709[exp1016][All States]

Alternate Benefits for Dental PPO PlansYour dental plan provides that where two or more professionally acceptable dental treatments for a dental condition exist, your plan bases reimbursement, and the associated procedure charge, on the least costly treatment alternative. If you and your dentist have agreed on a treatment which is more costly than the treatment upon which the plan benefit is based, you will be responsible for any additional payment responsibility.To avoid any misunderstandings, MetLife suggests you discuss treatment options with your dentist before services are rendered, and obtain a pre-treatment estimate of benefits prior to receiving certain high-cost services such as crowns, bridges or dentures. You and your dentist will each receive an Explanation of Benefits (EOB) outlining the services provided, your plan’s reimbursement for those services, and your out-of-pocket expense. Procedure charge schedules are subject to change each plan year. You can obtain an updated procedure charge schedule for your area via fax by calling 1-800-942-0854 and using the MetLife Dental Automated Information Service.
