Policy API automates the passing of plan details and rates from Guardian’s system to your benefits administration platform – reducing setup time and eliminating errors. We do the work for you, from initial case setup to updates at renewal.

Member Benefits API allows for transmission of all member transactions from your benefits administration platform to Guardian in real-time--eliminating the need to build and test the Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) file, as well as weekly reconcilement.

Evidence of Insurability (EOI) API provides a seamless experience for employees who need to complete an EOI questionnaire upon enrollment. This technology also provides automatic status updates to employees and HR teams.

Provider Directory API provides employees with intuitive access to Guardian’s provider directories within the benefits shopping experience.
