How does my DHMO plan work?

With a DHMO plan you will need to select a primary care dentist from our list of dentists participating in your plan. You can find a conveniently located primary care dental office at (link to find a provider). If you have family members covered under your plan, they can each select their own primary care dentist. You will need to see your selected primary care dentist for all dental services. When necessary, your primary care dentist will refer you to a participating specialist who will complete specialty services. As a DHMO member you will only be responsible for the co pays associated with each covered service along with your office visit co pay. There are no deductibles or maximums under your plan and no claims to file.
If you want to change your primary care dentist, you may do so by calling 1-866-569- 9900. If the Plan receives the request by the 20th of the month, the effective date of the change will be the first day of the following month. Any services started at one dental office must be completed by that office, and your account with the first office must be paid in full before a transfer can be processed.
DHMO plans are only offered in select states.

How does my PPO plan work?

A PPO plan allows you to visit any licensed dentist to receive your dental care. You do not need to select a primary care dentist and you do not need a referral to see other providers. If you receive care from a dentist that participates in the Guardian network, you may be reimbursed at a higher level than if you received care from a dentist that does not participate. Additionally, dentists participating in the Guardian network charge discounted fees, with an savings up to 35%. So the best way to save money is by visiting a dentists that participates in the Guardian network!
If you visit a dentist that participates in the Guardian network, there are no claims to file, the dentist will submit the claim on your behalf and there is no need for referrals before visiting specialist. Guardian has an easy to use tool to help you find a dentist. You can start by following the easy steps to search for a participating provider in your area and remember each member of your family may select their own dentist. Click here to find a Provider and select PPO.

What if the dentist I would like to see is not currently participating in Guardian’s network?

We are always looking for great new dentist to join our network. You can speak with your dentist asking that they contact us to participate in our network. This process can be time consuming and in the meantime it would be best to select a primary care dentist who is already participating so you can be seen immediately
If you are in a DHMO (In network only plan), only care received by a participating dentist will be covered under the plan. If you are in a PPO plan and you visit a dentist that is not participating in the Guardian network, you may receive reimbursement, but at a lower rate that had you visited a dentist that participates in the network.
