GET THE MOST OUT OF YOUR DENTAL PLAN
Preventive Advantage
Members have an unlimited preventive care maximum (frequency/age limitations still apply). Members obtain preventive care, including exams, cleanings, x-rays and fluoride treatments, without having the benefit deducted from their annual maximum. The entire annual maximum amount is preserved for basic and major services. Preventive care will continue to be covered even after the annual maximum is met. Preventive Advantage promotes preventive care to help keep members healthy and productive while extending the value of their
annual maximum.
International Dental Travel Assistance
Services are administered by AXA Assistance USA, Inc. AXA. Assistance is not affiliated with (The) Guardian Life Insurance (Company of America) (“Guardian”), and the services they provide are separate and apart from the benefits provided by Guardian. While traveling internationally, Guardian members can get a referral to a local dentist for immediate dental care through the International Dental
Travel Assistance Program. This service is available 24/7, in over 200 countries. Coverage will be considered under the out-of-network benefits.
