PPO Plan – Guardian PPO members are required to pay an annual deductible of $50.00 per member (max of three family members). Preventative services are paid at 100%, regular services are covered at 90% and major services are covered at 60% within the network. There is a maximum benefit of $2,000.00 per year in-network and $1500.00 per year out-of-network. This plan doesn’t cover orthodontic services. Maximum Rollover: With Maximum Rollover, we’ll roll over a portion of each member’s unused annual maximum, called the Maximum Rollover Amount, into his or her Maximum Rollover Account (MRA). The MRA can be used in future years, if a member reaches the plan’s Annual Maximum. Even better, if a member uses the services of Preferred Providers exclusively during the benefit year, we’ll increase the amount credited to his or her MRA to the In-network Only Maximum Rollover Amount. To qualify, a member must submit a claim and not exceed the paid claims Threshold during the benefit year. The employee and each insured dependent maintain separate MRAs based on their own claim activity. Each member’s MRA may not exceed the MRA limit.

Plan Annual Maximum- $1,500.00
Threshold- $700.00
Maximum Rollover Amount- $350.00
In-Network Only Maximum Rollover Amount- $500.00
Maximum Rollover Account Limit- $1,250.00

• If a plan has a different annual maximum for PPO benefits vs. non-PPO benefits, ($1500 PPO/$1000 non-PPO for example) the non-PPO maximum determines the Maximum Rollover plan.
