2  U&C Fee refers to the Usual and Customary (U&C) charge, which is based on the lowest of (1) The dentist’s actual charge, (2) The dentist’s usual charge for the same or similar services, or (3) The charge of most dentists in the same geographic area for the same or similar services as determined by MetLife.

3  Subject to any deductibles, cost sharing, benefit maximum and terms of the plan.
