Your Cigna Dental Insurance Policy

Every Cigna benefit plan represents a unique agreement between the patient and the dental insurance provider. In order to provide accurate estimates for your treatment costs, we’ll need to take the time to review your individual benefits. In most cases, Cigna plans provide the following treatment coverage:

Smiling man and woman

  • 80 to 100% coverage for checkups, cleanings, and other diagnostic and preventive care
  • 50 to 80% coverage for fillings, crowns, dentures, and other restoration options
  • When elected, orthodontic treatment may receive between 25 and 75% coverage

In-Network VS Out of Network Care

That means you will only need to cover the out of pocket costs of each service. When you visit an out of network dentist, they may charge slightly higher fees, but you will need to pay the difference in pricing as well as your out of pocket percentage of the insurer’s dental fees. While these differences in pricing are typically negligible, visiting an in-network dentist ensures you won’t have to worry about it.


 

Tips for Maximizing Your Benefits

In order to make the most of your Cigna plan, keep the following tips in mind:

  • Visit our dental office very six months for dental checkups and teeth cleanings. This is the best way to keep your smile healthy, and these services typically receive the greatest percentage of dental insurance coverage.
  • Understanding your annual plan maximums is important to ensure you receive the highest amount of coverage for your dentistry services. Each dental insurance policy sets a different annual maximum. If you need an advanced treatment, it may be best to plan to receive the treatment over the course of two insurance plan years since many benefit plans only offer $1500 a year in coverage for all services.
  • As soon as you notice any dental health issues, you should seek treatment immediately. Most benefit providers offer coverage for a higher percentage of the costs of conservative treatments than more advanced procedures.

Financing Options

At the time of service, we ask that patients be prepared to remit payment for their portion of the cost of dental care. We accept payments in the form of cash, check, and credit. We are also happy to work with CareCredit to offer low and no interest financing plans for most dental care services.
