Prepared for CADENCE EDUCATION, INC. Guardian Group Plan Number 00418885 Why Dental Insurance? Good oral hygiene is important, not only for looks, but for general health as well. A routine dental examination can detect symptoms of more than 125 diseases, including heart disease, diabetes, anemia, stomach ulcers, osteoporosis and kidney disease. Regular check ups and cleanings can save you the pain and expense of future problems. Dental insurance will keep these visits affordable and is a cost-effective way to minimize health care costs for you and your family. The American Dental Hygienists Association estimates that for every $1 spent on prevention or oral health care, as much as $8 to $50 is saved on future emergency and restorative procedures. Using your dental insurance for regular dental check ups can improve your health by helping you: 1) Prevent Oral Cancer: According to The Oral Cancer Foundation, someone dies from oral cancer every hour of every day in the United States alone. When you have your dental cleaning, your dentist is also screening you for oral cancer, which is highly curable if diagnosed early. 2) Prevent Gum Disease: Gum disease is an infection in the gum tissues and bone that keep your teeth in place and is one of the leading causes of adult tooth loss. If diagnosed early, it can be treated and reversed. If treatment is not received, a more serious and advanced stage of gum disease may follow. Regular dental cleanings and check ups, flossing daily and brushing twice a day are key factors in preventing gum disease. 3) Help Maintain Good Physical Health: Recent studies have linked heart attacks and strokes to gum disease, resulting from poor oral hygiene. A dental cleaning every six months helps to keep your teeth and gums healthy and could possibly reduce your risk of heart disease and strokes, as well as many other serious conditions. 4) Keep Your Teeth: Since gum disease is one of the leading causes of tooth loss in adults, regular dental check ups and cleanings, brushing and flossing are vital to keeping as many teeth as you can. Keeping your teeth means better chewing function and ultimately, better health. 5) Prevent the Need for Advanced Treatment: Your dentist and hygienist will be able to detect any early signs of problems with your teeth or gums that can be easily treatable. If these problems go untreated, root canals, gum surgery and removal of teeth could become the only treatment options available. 6) Have a Bright and White Smile: Your dental hygienist can remove most tobacco, coffee and tea stains. During your cleaning, your hygienist will also polish your teeth to a beautiful shine. 7) Protect your childrens health: Tooth decay is the most common chronic childhood disease, five times more common than asthma and results in a loss of 51 million school hours each year. Regular check ups can help prevent tooth decay in your children. Sources: www.about.com, American Academy of Pediatrics www.guardianlife.com Enrollment Kit 00418885, 0001, EN 3

Dental Maximum Rollover Save Your Unused Claims Dollars For When You Need Them Most Guardian will roll over a portion of your unused annual maximum into your personal Maximum Rollover Account (MRA). If you reach your Plan Annual Maximum in future years, you can use money from your MRA. To qualify for an MRA, you must have a paid claim (not just a visit) and must not have exceeded the paid claims threshold during the benefit year. Your MRA may not exceed the MRA limit. You can view your annual MRA statement detailing your account and those of your dependents on www.guardiananytime.com. Please note that actual maximum limitations and thresholds vary by plan. Your plan may vary from the one used below as an example to illustrate how the Maximum Rollover functions. Plan Annual Maximum* Threshold Maximum Rollover Amount In-Network Only Rollover Amount Maximum Rollover Account Limit $1500 $700 $350 $500 $1250 Maximum claims reimbursement Claims amount that determines rollover eligibility Additional dollars added to Plan Annual Maximum for future years Additional dollars added to Plan Annual Maximum for future years if only innetwork providers were used during the benefit year * 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. Here s how the benefits work: YEAR ONE: Jane starts with a $1,500 Plan Annual Maximum. She submits $150 in dental claims. Since she did not reach the $700 Threshold, she receives a $350 rollover that will be applied to Year Two. YEAR TWO: Jane now has an increased Plan Annual Maximum of $1,850. This year, she submits $50 in claims and receives an additional $350 rollover added to her Plan Annual Maximum. YEAR THREE: Jane now has an increased Plan Annual Maximum of $2,200. This year, she submits $2,100 in claims. All claims are paid due to the amount accumulated in her Maximum Rollover Account. YEAR FOUR: Jane s Plan Annual Maximum is $1,600 ($1,500 Plan Annual Maximum + $100 remaining in her Maximum Rollover Account). $2,400 $2,200 $2,000 $1,800 $1,600 $1,400 $1,200 $1,000 $800 For Overview of your Dental Benefits, please see About Your Benefit Section of this Enrollment Booklet. + $350 Plan Annual Maximum plus Maximum Rollover cannot exceed $2,750 in total YEAR ONE YEAR TWO YEAR THREE YEAR FOUR Annual Max + $350 - $600 $1500 $1500 $1500 $1500 Rollover Balance NOTES: You and your insured dependents maintain separate MRAs based on your own claim activity. Each MRA may not exceed the MRA limit. Cases on either a calendar year or policy year accumulation basis qualify for the Maximum Rollover feature. For calendar year cases with an effective date in October, November or December, the Maximum Rollover feature starts as of the first full benefit year. For example, if a plan starts in November of 2013, the claim activity in 2014 will be used and applied to MRAs for use in 2015. Under either benefit year set up (calendar year or policy year), Maximum Rollover for new entrants joining with 3 months or less remaining in the benefit year, will not begin until the start of the next full benefit year. Maximum Rollover is deferred for members who have coverage of Major services deferred. For these members, Maximum Rollover starts when coverage of Major services starts, or the start of the next benefit year if 3 months or less remain until the next benefit year. (Actual eligibility timeframe may vary. See your Plan Details for the most accurate information.) Guardian's Dental Insurance is underwritten and issued by The Guardian Life Insurance Company of America or its subsidiaries, New York, NY. Products are not available in all states. Policy limitations and exclusions apply. Optional riders and/or features may incur additional costs. Plan documents are the final arbiter of coverage. Policy Form #GP-1-DG2000, et al. 9
