Benefits

Dental Insurance

Cigna | DHMO
With the Dental Health Maintenance Organization (DHMO) plan through Cigna, you are required to select a general dentist who is
a member of the network to provide your dental care. You will contact your general dentist for all of your dental needs, such as
routine check‐ups and emergency situations. If specialty care is needed, your general dentist will provide the necessary referral. For
covered procedures, you'll pay the pre‐set copay or coinsurance fee described in your DHMO plan booklet. Please keep a copy of
your booklet to refer to when utilizing your dental care. This will show the applicable copays that apply to all of the dental services
that are covered under this plan.

Cigna | PPO
With the Cigna Preferred Provider Organization (PPO) dental plan, you may visit a PPO dentist and benefit from the negotiated rate
or visit a non‐network dentist. When you utilize a PPO dentist, your out-of-pocket expenses will be less. You may also obtain
services using a non-network dentist; however, you will be responsible for the difference between the covered amount and the
actual charges and you may be responsible for filing claims.

Finding a Dental Provider
Go to www.mycigna.com or call (800) 244-6224. DHMO participants should refer to the “Cigna Dental Care
HMO” network, and PPO participants should refer to the “Cigna DPPO Advantage” network when prompted .

Note We recommend you ask your dentist for a predetermination if total charges are expected to exceed $300. Predetermination
enables you and your dentist to know in advance what the payment will be for any service that may be in question.
