How to Submit Dental Claims
The Guardian does not require any special claim form in order to process a dental claim, but will generally accept generic claim forms used by your dentist. Participating Dentists will file claims on your behalf directly to the Guardian for payment. Many Non‑Participating Dentists will file a claim for you as well, but you are responsible for doing so if your Non-Participating Dentist does not. All claim forms should be sent to the address that appears on your Dental Program ID card and at the beginning of this Dental Program section. For more detailed information, refer to the Claims and Appeals Procedures section.
The Guardian will make payments on behalf of the Fund and will then send you an explanation of the dental benefit payments.
