Service Information

Dental Plans

Dental coverage is provided at no charge. The dental plans offer two dental exams and cleanings per year. You have a choice of two plans:

  • Guardian Dental/First Commonwealth/ HMO

               Provides access to services performed at participating dental HMO practices.

  • Guardian/First Commonwealth PPO

               Allows you to seek dental care from dentists who either are in or out of the PPO network.

              In-network services are usually covered at a higher benefit level.
