SCHEDULE OF BENEFITS Benefits provided by SafeGuard Health Plans, Inc., a MetLife company Self-Referral Dental Plan Univ II This Schedule of Benefits lists the services available to you under your SafeGuard plan, as well as the copayments associated with each service. There are other factors that impact how your plan works and those are included here in the Exclusions & Limitations. We have added some dental terminology definitions to help you better understand your plan – these can be found at the back of this Schedule. SafeGuard is an affiliate of MetLife. The following co-payments apply only when services are performed by your selected SafeGuard general dentist. SafeGuard also contracts with dentists who provide specialty care services (periodontics, oral surgery, endodontics, pedodontics, orthodontics). If you choose to receive care from one of these contracted specialists, your co-payment will be 75% of the specialist’s usual treatment fee.
