A large insurer is getting ready to cover the aging teeth of the baby boomers.
A unit of MetLife Inc., New York, has introduced a full-service insured dental plan for retirees.
Retirees pay 100% of the premium, but MetLife will handle participant marketing, enrollment, customer service, record-keeping and billing, the company says.
The program comes with a choice of 2 plan designs, and participants can choose between using out-of-network benefits at any dentist or using a dentist in MetLife’s own preferred provider network.
