    Dental Plans

    The County of Summit offers you and your eligible dependents two dental plan options through Guardian Dental, the Network Access (NAP) Plan and the Value Plan.

    Guardian NAP Plan: With the NAP Plan, you may visit any dentist. However, you will pay less out-of-pocket when you choose an in-network dentist, as in-network dentists have agreed to accept negotiated rates.

    Guardian Value Plan: With the Value Plan, you may also visit any dentist. However, out-of-network benefits are limited to Guardian's maximum allowable charge fee schedule. If your dentist charges more than the allowable amount, you are responsible for paying the difference. This is known as balance billing and can result in higher out-of-pocket costs when visiting an out-of-network provider.

    Finding an In-Network Dentist: To find out if your dentist is in the Guardian Network, visit Guardianlife.com and select the PPO: DentalGuard Preferred plan type. You may search by location or Dentist last name. 

    Dental ID Cards: Dental ID cards are digital; no printed cards are issued. You can access your digital ID card by downloading the Guardian mobile app or logging into your account on Guardian’s website.  

    Guardian Customer Service: 1 (866) 569-9900

    Group Number: 00576937

    Vision Plan

    The County of Summit provides you and your eligible dependents with a Vision Care Program through VSP Vision Care.

    Finding an In-Network Provider: To find an in-network provider, visit vsp.com and search for a doctor by location, office, or doctor, or call VSP Customer Service.

    Vision ID Cards: Vision ID cards are digital; no printed cards are issued. You can access your digital ID card by downloading the VSP mobile app or logging into your account on VSP Vision Care’s website.
