Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, we do. Rocklin Comprehensive Dentistry is in-network with Guardian Life Insurance Company of America. That means Dr. Patel has agreed to Guardian’s contracted rates, so you’re typically going to pay less out of pocket than you would at an out-of-network office. If you want to double-check before your visit, just give us a call at (916) 315-3558.
Guardian plans generally cover preventive care like cleanings and X-rays at the highest level, then basic services like fillings, and major work like crowns or root canals at a lower rate. Your specific coverage depends on the plan your employer chose, so the benefits can vary. We recommend calling Guardian directly or letting our team pull your benefits before your appointment so there are no surprises.
When you see an in-network dentist like Dr. Patel, the fees are pre-negotiated with Guardian, which usually means lower costs for you. Out-of-network dentists can charge whatever they want, and Guardian may only cover a portion of that — leaving you with a bigger bill. Staying in-network in Rocklin is almost always the more affordable option.
You’ve got two easy options. You can call Guardian directly using the number on the back of your insurance card, or you can call our Rocklin office at (916) 315-3558 and we’ll look into it for you. We do benefit checks regularly and can usually give you a clear picture of what’s covered and what you’d owe before you ever sit in the chair.
