MetLife announces new dental wellness incentive to reward healthy behaviors

MetLife announced the launch of a new dental wellness incentive. The provision rewards employees for positive oral health behavior – such as routine cleanings and exams – by increasing a member’s annual maximum and/or coinsurance percentages, and/or by reducing plan deductibles.

Some of the program enhancements include personalized rewards, richer benefits based on claims, and increasing benefits for up to three years.

“MetLife’s modern approach to dental benefits is designed to go beyond just dental care, helping care for employees’ total wellbeing. I’m pleased that MetLife has developed flexible options designed to deliver a dental benefits program that helps to protect employees, encourage better overall health, and reduce out-of-pocket costs. A smile can have a powerful effect, and we hope this plan can encourage positive dental behavior, and in turn, help employees boost both their holistic well-being and confidence.” – Chris Swanker, SVP, Dental at MetLife
