4 questions to ask about your dental network
Ready to future-proof your dental benefits by delivering more employee satisfaction and getting the most out of every premium dollar spent? Then let's change up the dental network conversation.
Are in-network dentists located where employees actually live?
National totals are great for network size, but employees really want to know they can see a dentist they like, for routine or specialized care, close to where they live or work.
How much do employees save in network?
Your dental network should deliver meaningful discounts that lower member out-of-pocket costs and help control plan spend when members stay in network. With Guardian, members save an average of 44%¹ in network.
Is your network paired with plan designs that help maximize value for employees and employers?
Effective plan designs can do more than cover services. They can encourage preventive care, increase in-network utilization, improve access to treatment, and support healthier outcomes while helping employers get more value from their benefits investment.
How will my employees experience the network?
Guardian offers year-round strategies to help employees understand their dental benefits and network so they are more likely to use and appreciate both. Members can also access digital tools that make it easier to find a network dentist and estimate the cost of care.
