How to file a claim - Faculty should contact Met Life at 1-888-777-7418 or visit my.pitt.edu (search for “Met Life MyBenefits”).  MetLife will administer the health care certification process and provide the required forms to the faculty member. The completed forms must be submitted directly to MetLife by the faculty member.

MetLife will provide an approval or denial for the claim.  After MetLife confirms that the faculty member has filed and has an active pending claim, you can submit the Pitt Worx leave request. The Pitt Worx submission and approval process remains the same – see below. HR Shared Services will review the request and ask for additional information if necessary.
