Cigna PPO network dentists offer discounts on non-covered services for Basic and Enhanced plan members. Visit a network dentist, confirm the procedure is discounted, and pay the negotiated fee directly to them. Discounts may vary by state; check with your dentist or Cigna to confirm eligibility.
Before starting extensive dental procedures where charges may exceed $200, your dentist may submit a pretreatment estimate to the plan.
OUR DENTAL PLANS
Total Care DHMO Plan
Dental services are only covered when you receive care from a dentist in the DHMO network (except in an emergency). You must select a primary care dentist who will coordinate your care. You pay lower out-of-pocket costs for mouthguards, teeth whitening, and braces offered in this plan. There is no annual deductible or calendar maximum.
Enhanced Plan
The Cigna Enhanced DPPO network allows you to choose any licensed dentist for care without a referral. This plan provides richer benefits than the Basic Plan, with lower out-of-pocket costs for in-network services such as orthodontia, implants, dentures, and fixed bridges. The orthodontic coverage and lifetime maximum have been increased. The annual deductible has been removed.
Basic Plan
The Cigna Basic DPPO network allows you to choose any licensed dentist for care without a referral. It offers convenient access to highly rated dentists nationwide and savings on covered dental services.
For all dental plans: When you visit an out-of-network dentist, your out-of-pocket expenses will likely be higher than an in-network dentist. Use the Find a Dentist tool to confirm that your dentist is in-network for your plan to save the most.
