Thursday, August 29 2024
MetLife has created a strategy that will solve the immediate needs of your customers as Cal Dental (CDN) exits the marketplace effective 10/1. MetLife offers a strong contract when it comes to DHMO, covering over 400 codes. Their network is also larger than Cal Dental, which allows for minimal disruption to your groups.

• Will match current DHMO rates*
• Rate Guarantee will align with current in-force PPO renewal date *Note a few groups may not qualify based on size, demographics, or participation. UW will release quote as close to current rates as possible. At Renewal Date:
• Group will have the opportunity to add PPO by first renewal date. If PPO is not added, DHMO rates will increase based on initial discount provided. Minimum Participation requirements are as follows:
