Guardian Expands Dental, Vision, and Accident Plans

Amid rapid growth in retiree and gig worker populations, Guardian is broadening key insurance offerings available directly to consumers to support mind, body, and wallet wellness.

As the nature of how, where, and when Americans work evolves, The Guardian Life Insurance Company of America is expanding access to individual dental and vision products and launching a refreshed individual accident insurance policy. Building on Guardian's leadership as one of the largest providers of workplace dental insurance, these enhanced offerings are designed for Americans who otherwise don't have access to, or aren't eligible for, traditional workplace benefits.

• Expanding Guardian's dental offerings with a new Premier plan available directly to individuals, ensuring even more Americans have access to Guardian's 130,000-provider dental network—one of the largest in the country. The Preferred Provider Plan (PPO) has an annual maximum benefit of $3,000 and includes robust coverage for a wide variety of oral care needs, including teeth whitening and implants.
• Meeting market demand by introducing a simplified Dental, Vision, and Hearing bundle, bringing together three popular insurance plans in one easy-to-use offering. Guardian is providing the bundle in partnership with industry leaders Kelsey National and VSP Individual Plans, and it includes access to Guardian's existing network of dental providers.
• Enhancing its individual accident insurance policy, which makes a benefit payment to individuals if they or their dependents have a covered accidental injury. The refresh makes Guardian one of the only carriers to provide this offering directly to individuals.

"The financial well-being that can be provided through benefits plays an outsized role in influencing overall wellness. Regardless of whether someone is exiting the workforce to enjoy retirement or taking their first steps as an entrepreneur, we're committed to ensuring our customers have the insurance protections they need, when they need them."
