Benefits
Dental Insurance CIGNA
HMO Dental Plan (State Categories 1 & 2 — See page 10)
Cigna Dental HMO (DHMO) members must select a general dentist to handle all their dental needs (from routine check-ups to
emergency situations). General dentists provide necessary referrals in cases where specialty care is required. Pre-set copays and
any coinsurance fees for covered procedures are described in DHMO plan documents.
PPO Dental Plan (All States)
Cigna's Dental PPO (DPPO) is a preferred provider plan which allows members to visit both network and non-network dentists.
Utilizing PPO network dentists helps lessen out-of-pocket expenses as rates are pre-negotiated with Cigna. When members obtain
services from a non-network dentist they are responsible for the monetary difference between Cigna's Usual and Customary
charges (UCR) and the actual fees charged by the non-network dentist. Members are responsible for filing claims when utilizing non
-network services.
