Guardian Coverage Availability & Fees
Guardian PPO plans can offer helpful coverage for different types of dental care, making it easier to take care of your smile while keeping treatment expenses more manageable. Every plan has its own terms and coverage levels, but most benefits commonly fall into these categories:
- Preventive services: Exams, professional cleanings, and dental X-rays may be covered at 80% to 100%.
- Basic procedures: Services such as fillings and straightforward extractions are often covered at 50% to 70%.
- Major dental care: More involved treatments, including crowns, complex extractions, and oral surgery, may have coverage of 50% or less.
Depending on your specific plan, you might also have an annual benefit maximum between $500 and $1,000. Once your deductible has been met, your insurance can help pay toward covered services until you reach that annual limit. Planning treatment carefully can make it easier to manage your expenses, and in some cases, care can be divided across different times of the year to help spread out the cost.
Staying in network is another way to potentially minimize what you pay for dental care. You don’t have to use an in-network dentist, and out-of-network providers may still accept your insurance. However, your portion of the cost can be higher when you choose a provider outside your plan’s network.
