Frequently Asked Questions

Group benefits refer to the different insurance types that cover a group of people, such as the employees in a business. In addition to medical insurance, group benefits can also include ancillary benefits like the insurance options offered by Guardian.

Employees save more money when they can access benefits through an employer. As a result, employers who offer a good variety of quality benefits are better able to attract and retain top talent that can help their businesses grow and thrive.

The cost to the employer can vary depending on the different features you choose. When benefits are offered on a voluntary basis, each one costs around what an employee might pay for a coffee shop latte, per day.

Guardian offers benefits that:

  • Help protect loved ones and paychecks, including life and disability insurance.

  • Help save on required care, including dental and vision insurance.

  • Pay cash after an unexpected health emergency, so employees can focus on recovering, including accident, cancer, critical illness, and hospital indemnity insurance.

  • Ensure immediate access to personalized mental wellness solutions for all employees and their families through Guardian + Spring Health.
