Plan Summary
The Cigna Dental plan offers a large network of participating providers. A dental PPO functions like a medical PPO: the network of dentists who participate in the Cigna Dental plan accept as payment a fee schedule negotiated with Cigna. When covered services are rendered by an in-network provider, Cigna reimburses the dentist according to the schedule while plan participants usually have no out-of-pocket expenses. The Cigna dental plan is designed to encourage yearly visits to a dentist for preventive care.

FAQs
Does Cigna also cover dental services in all 50 states?
Yes, the Cigna Dental plan reimburses services received in all 50 states.
Does my dental entitlement accumulate/roll-over if I don't use it for one year?
No, Cigna Dental benefits do not roll-over if not used. The maximum resets each year on the 1st of July.
Why doesn’t the dental insurance cover all forms of teeth ailments?
Dental plans, unlike medical ones, are discounted plans, that cover preventive care and basic procedures such as treatment for gum disease, extractions, fillings, and root canals. Coverage is limited because of the low premiums paid for dental insurance. Not all ailments are covered, however, preventive, and basic care are covered.
