Overview

MOAA Dental & Vision Insurance 

Built for the Military Community

In military life, details matter. Your dental and vision health are no different. As a MOAA member, you have access to both dental and vision insurance — dependable coverage that keeps routine care affordable and helps protect against the cost of more extensive treatment when you need it most.

Cost of Coverage: Rates are determined by a variety of factors. You can view a monthly premium amount when you enroll in our secure online portal.

Eligibility: As a member of MOAA, you and your family are eligible for coverage. Your lawful spouse and dependent children under age 26 are also eligible for coverage. To become insured, an enrollment form must be submitted and the required premium contribution must be paid.

Effective Date: Coverage for you and your eligible dependents will become effective on the first day of the month after your enrollment form has been approved and your first premium is received.

Termination: Your protection will not be canceled due to claims and you cannot be singled out for a rate increase. Your coverage continues as long as you pay your premiums when due, keep your MOAA membership, and the group policy remains in force. Your dependent’s coverage will remain in effect as long as your coverage is active, premiums are paid, and they meet eligibility requirements.

Additional Benefits

Preventive Care

Dental preventive services including cleanings and exams are covered up to 100%. Annual eye exams are covered with just a $10 copay.

Guaranteed Acceptance

As a MOAA member, your acceptance is guaranteed. No medical exam or health questions are required to enroll in either plan.

No Waiting Period

Both your dental and vision benefits are available from day one. No waiting required.

Adult Orthodontic Coverage

Adult Orthodontic services are covered at 50% for both adults and children, a benefit not always included in dental plans, with a $1,000 lifetime maximum.

LASIK and PRK Discounts

Receive 15% off the retail price or 5% off promotional pricing for LASIK and PRK laser vision correction through your vision plan.

Wide Network

Both plans come with a wide network of providers, so it is easy to find care wherever you are. If you prefer your current providers, they may already be in network.

Flexible Plan Levels

Pick the coverage tier that fits your needs and budget, with options for Member Only, Member + Spouse, Member + Children, or Member + Family. Dependents can be covered through age 26.

Contact Lens Coverage

Elective contact lenses are covered in full with a maximum $60 copay for fitting and evaluation when you stay in network.

Group Rates, Better Value

Because these plans are offered exclusively through MOAA membership, you get access to group pricing that would not be available to you as an individual. That means more coverage for less.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who can enroll in dental and vision coverage?

For dental insurance, as a member of MOAA who lives in the U.S. (except AK, FL, MD, MT, NC, NM, OR, UT, & VT), your acceptance is guaranteed, even if you’ve had dental problems in the past. Vision coverage is available nationwide. Just check your eligibility during enrollment to confirm.

Can I keep my current dentist and eye doctor?

Yes. Both plans allow you to visit any licensed provider and still receive benefits. Staying in network may lower your out-of-pocket costs since in-network providers have agreed to negotiated rates with MetLife. You can check if your providers are in network at www.metlife.com/dental for dental and www.metlife.com/mybenefits for vision.

Can I enroll in both dental and vision coverage?

Yes. You can enroll in both plans. You can enroll in dental insurance here and vision insurance here.

Is there a waiting period?

Both your dental and vision benefits are available from day one. No waiting required.

Do I need to file a claim?

Not if you visit a participating provider. When you stay in network, your provider will handle the claim on your behalf. If you visit an out-of-network dentist, you can request a claim form by calling MetLife at 1-800-438-6388 or downloading one at www.metlife.com/dental. For out-of-network vision care, you can submit a claim online at www.metlife.com/mybenefits.

How do I find an in-network provider?

For dental, visit www.metlife.com/dental or call 1-800-438-6388. For vision, visit www.metlife.com/mybenefits or call 1-855-638-3931.

When does my coverage begin?

Coverage is effective the first day of the month after we receive your enrollment form and first premium payment.

In-network savings based on MetLife data. Negotiated fees refer to the fees that in-network dentists have agreed to accept as payment in full for certain services, subject to any co-payments, deductibles, cost sharing and benefits maximums. Negotiated fees are subject to change. Negotiated fees do not apply to non-covered services in states that prohibit limitations for services not covered under a plan. Participating providers in these states may charge their non-negotiated fees for non-covered services.
