23 Direct Settlement (Direct Payment)Tips to facilitate Direct Settlement of your bills: Search for Direct Settlement providers/facilities online Identify provider/facility of your choice Register with the provider Schedule an appointment and notify facility that you are a MetLife Expatriate Benefits member What to bring on your healthcare visit: ID Card MetLife has a contracted provider network that may eliminate the need to pay for the full cost of services up front and file a claim. These contracted providers have direct settlement agreements with MetLife. In order to access care by direct settlement we recommend first searching for Direct Settlement providers/facilities online through the MetLife web portal. Instructions on how to search for providers using the directory will be shown later in this presentation. Once you search the provider directory, identify the provider/facility of your choice. We advise that you register with the provider, giving your health history and insurance information prior to needing care. Additionally, schedule an appointment and notify facility that you are a MetLife Expatriate Benefits member. Please remember to bring your MetLife ID Card to your next healthcare visit.
24 Guarantee of Payment Guarantee of Payment (GOP) is a letter sent by the insurer to the provider guaranteeing a one-time payment for covered services on your behalf. To request a GOP: or call your MetLife Regional Service Center (# located on ID Card) at least 3 – 5 days before your appointment. Some providers will offer to do this for you.

Hospital name, country, city, contact person, telephone, and . Date of service, primary diagnosis or complaint, type of medical procedure. If you are utilizing a provider that is not direct-pay or in-network, you can request that MetLife send the provider a Guarantee of Payment (or GOP) letter that ensures MetLife will pay for the covered services. To request a GOP, we recommend that you or call Customer Service at least 3 to 5 days in advance of your appointment. In emergency cases, MetLife can provide GOPs on demand. If it is an emergency, please call your service center. requests may not be answered as urgently as you may need. When requesting a GOP, make sure you provide Customer Service with all of the necessary information needed to submit the letter to the provider. Your certificate number and policy number can be found on your ID card. Note that MetLife can not guarantee that every provider will accept a GOP.
