2024 Employee Benefit Guide

Dental Insurance—Guardian Dental PPO

To find a participating dentist, visit www.guardiananytime.com . The list of available dentists is not guaranteed and it is advisable to ask your dentist if they are currently participating or accepting new patients. Although the Guardian Dental plan allows you the freedom to visit any licensed dentist, you will save more on your out - of - pocket costs when you visit a Guardian PPO dentist. The Guardian Platinum network also provides cost saving features and is the next best option. Ask your dentist if they are a Guardian Platinum or Gold/Silver provider to choose the plan that ’ s right for you. The dentist you choose could affect your cost.

Plan Design - Administered by Guardian Dental

Facts and tips You are always free to select the dentist of your choice. However, if you choose a dentist who does not participate in the Guardian program, your out - of - pocket expenses may be greater, since you will be responsible to pay for any difference between the dentist's fee and your plan's payment for the approved service. If you receive services from a participating dentist, you are only responsible for the difference between the in - network fee for the service provided and your plan's payment for the approved service. Please note: any plan deductibles must be met before benefits are paid.
