Dental Coverage
We offer two dental plans (Core and Buy Up Plans) through Guardian, so you can choose what’s right for you.
While you can see an out-of-network provider if you choose, in-network providers offer larger discounts and can file your claims for you. Out-of-network providers may charge you for any amount billed in excess of the negotiated discounted rate.
