Virtudent And Guardian Life Announce Teledentistry Partnership
Approximately 7 million Guardian PPO members will now have access to 24/7 teledentistry services through the co-branded teledentistry solution by accessing Guardian Teledentistry online or by calling 1-800-506-8305. The teledentistry service provides members with a virtual option to help with dental issues, such as diagnose an emergency, prescribe necessary antibiotics, and find the best care option for other dental issues. This can be helpful for members who don't live close to their dentist or for those who need an after-hours consultation.
"Our goal with this partnership is to provide an efficient and effective way for patients to access a dental support team at their fingertips," said
With the COVID-19 health crisis, interest in telemedicine has been on the rise. According to Guardian's Workplace Benefits Study "Dental Benefits 2020", more than one-third of all adults are open to trying teledentistry and even favor this option over traditional in-person visits for certain conditions and situations. Parents are more likely to use teledentistry for a child than for themselves – both during and after the pandemic – while millennials also favor using it.
"This partnership with Virtudent reinforces our commitment to delivering affordable, flexible dental benefits that meet the evolving needs of our members," said Dr.
