MetLife Teams up with SKYGEN to Transform Dental Provider Digital Experience and Credentialing
MetLife (NYSE: MET) has announced a strategic partnership with SKYGEN to revolutionize dental provider experience and credentialing processes. The collaboration will integrate SKYGEN's Dental Hub into MetLife's dental provider network, creating a unified platform for providers to interact with all payer partners.
The Dental Hub streamlines the credentialing process by allowing providers to share information with multiple payer partners in one place, eliminating the need for multiple recredentialing packets every three years. This transformation aligns recredentialing dates across payers, significantly reducing administrative burden for providers.
As a leading carrier with one of the largest dental networks, MetLife's integration of the Dental Hub demonstrates its commitment to value-based dentistry and improving healthcare delivery efficiency. SKYGEN currently serves nearly 50 million members across all 50 states and processes 3 million claims monthly.

Through this strategic collaboration, MetLife will incorporate SKYGEN’s Dental Hub into its dental provider experience. As a single platform, the Dental Hub will allow MetLife's network of providers to interact with all payer partners, complete credentialing and manage provider directory information efficiently in one place.
“We recognize the common pain points that providers experience when it comes to credentialing and varying processes across payers,” said Dr. Peter Fuentes, Chief Dental Officer at MetLife. “Teaming up with SKYGEN enables MetLife to offer its network a transparent and digital hub that not only streamlines the process for providers but expands patient access to quality oral care.”
The Dental Hub allows providers to share credentialing information with all of their participating payer partners in one place and centralizes the primary source verification process. This means providers can get recredentialed with all their participating payer partners by simply keeping their information up to date on the platform, eliminating the need to complete multiple “recredentialing packets” every three years.
The Dental Hub is transforming MetLife’s credentialing process by aligning recredentialing dates across payers. This move to a common credentialing cycle is a paradigm shift for the dental industry that will dramatically reduce the administrative burden that credentialing has historically placed on providers.
“We are thrilled to partner with MetLife, whose longstanding commitment to meeting the evolving needs of its customers and providers reinforces our mission to drive meaningful change in the industry,” said John Schaak, Chief Innovation and Growth Officer, SKYGEN. “The old way of credentialing has been challenging for providers. MetLife understands this and is eliminating this pain point for their providers by adopting the Dental Hub.”
As a leading carrier with one of the largest dental networks, MetLife is at the forefront of value-based dentistry, working to ensure providers and patients benefit from high-quality, outcome-driven care. The integration of the Dental Hub marks a significant advancement in the dental provider digital experience and underscores MetLife's commitment to efficiency, making dental care easier with clear, fast and transparent processes.
