MetLife - Dental Coverage

Dental health is an important part of your overall health. Gates offers a base dental plan (Dental Plan 1) and a second buy-up plan (Dental Plan 2) with a higher annual maximum, administered by Metlife, so you can get the dental care you and your family need.  The Dental PPD Plans provide access to a large network of dentists.  As with the medical plans, you can save money by using network providers.

VSP - Vision Coverage

Regular eye exams are an important part of overall health. Gates provides optional comprehensive vision coverage through Vision Service Plan (VSP). VSP provides a benefit for exams and materials on a yearly basis. You have the freedom to choose any vision provider, but the plan generally pays better benefits when you receive care from VSP network providers.
