BENEFITS
Dental Insurance
Guardian | DHMO
With the Dental Health Maintenance Organization (DHMO) plan through Guardian, you are required to select a general dentist
who is a member of the Managed Dental Care network to provide your dental care. You will contact your general dentist for all of
your dental needs, such as routine check‐ups and emergency situations. If specialty care is needed, your general dentist will
provide the necessary referral. For covered procedures, you'll pay the pre‐set copay or coinsurance fee described in your DHMO
plan booklet. Please keep a copy of your booklet to refer to when utilizing your dental care. This will show the applicable copays
that apply to all of the dental services that are covered under this plan.
Guardian | PPO
With the Guardian Preferred Provider Organization (PPO) dental plan, you may visit a PPO dentist and benefit from the negotiated
rate or visit a non‐network dentist. When you utilize a Choice Plan NAP/Value network dentist, your out-of-pocket expenses will be
less. You may also obtain services using a non-network dentist; however, you will be responsible for the difference between the
covered amount and the actual charges and you may be responsible for filing claims.

Note
We recommend you ask your dentist for a predetermination if total charges are expected to exceed $300. Predetermination
enables you and your dentist to know in advance what the payment will be for any service that may be in question.
