* Note: Using the
MetLife Claim form is not necessary for many Dentists. I have
never filled out a claim form yet I have been to three different
Dentists and been paid. Many dentists have computer access to
MetLife and all you have to do is give them your name and SS # and they
do what is referred to as Pre-Qualify you. They then will tell you
what MetLife will pay and what it will cost you out of pocket.
However, there are some dentists that will require a form and Tom Kearny
a former Para Board member went through the process filling out the form
recently. He had to contact MetLife because it seems it is not as
easy as one would think. Anyway, he shared his experience with me
so I put his advice on the bottom of the instruction sheet of the claim
form, it is very helpful, don't fill out the form without reading Tom's
advice......Webmaster |
