I had a crown put in (which fell off 3 months later, that's another story) and it was covered.

Some people who have insurance issues have had success by contacting the ALPA R&I person, Karen Browne-Fleck. If you can't get any solution from MetLife then go to her. Her email is in the "Check your check" email we just got, near the top.

She's on the ball - I emailed her about a simple issue at 9pm on a tueday, had the answer within a few minutes.

Tricare is awesome. The military dental blows though. Delta's plan (cough, cough) is better if you can believe it.

Thanks, I emailed her. I'll update if I get any traction with metlife.

I thought they were the exact same plans.

My experience with MetLife thus far is they deny everything at least once. My wife had a root canal last year. No problem. They paid up.

They did give her a hard time over a periodontic cleaning. It took a phone call to get everyone on the same page. None of our dental specialists are in network. It's gotten to the point where if they are actually in network, I question their competence.

Karen Browne-Fleck at DALPA can help you. She prefers to be contacted by email. Her response will be very fast.

Are there any Airbus guys/gals on here that have went to the ER without any prior Boeing experience? If so, what is the transition like? Almost at my 9 year mark and so far I have only caused Delta to pay for one school after newhire training. Thinking it's about time I make a move somewhere.

Not to beat the dental work horse...but my wife had a crown re-done last year and - based on our insurance statement & dental bill - it was not covered. It sounds like some of you guys are having luck calling MetLife and using the Jedi mind trick on them to get work like that covered.

True? Any magic words you have to say to them? Speak to a supervisor?

Be awesome to be going to the left seat of the ER at 9 years......some of those 2014 guys will make it that fast! Right seat to right seat.
Don't want to commute to the 330 so I figured I would venture into the ER and see what it's like being an international man of leisure.
