Cigna began as the Insurance Company of North America in 1792 in Philadelphia to provide marine insurance. Over the years, Cigna has grown to become a global leader in the health insurance industry. Cigna also offers dental insurance.
Cigna offers three kinds of plan options to individuals and families with different dental insurance benefits:
The Cigna Dental Preventive plan has no deductible and covers 100 percent of preventive services, like cleanings and exams. Its monthly premium cost varies. However, the average lowest monthly premium available in 2018 is $19 per person.
The Cigna Dental 1000 offers the same preventive care coverage as the Cigna Dental Preventive plan. It also covers restorative treatment up to $1000 per year. The deductible is $50 for an individual and $150 dollars for a family. The average lowest monthly premium available in 2018 is $30 per person.
The Cigna Dental 1500 plan has the same deductibles and preventive coverage as the Cigna Dental 1000. It offers more coverage for restorative care, up to $1500 per year. The Cigna Dental 1500 includes $1000 benefit for orthodontic services that comes with a separate deductible, limits, and coinsurance. The average lowest monthly premium available in 2018 for this plan is $35 person.
When choosing a plan from these three categories, pay attention to waiting periods. Waiting periods mean that the dental insurance company doesn't cost-share covered services until the waiting period is over.
Cigna offers four kinds of plans that employers can provide to their employees in a benefits package:
The specifics of each plan vary, so check the specifics of your plan before making your choice. General information about each kind of plan is below.
The Cigna Dental Care plans are Cigna's dental HMO plans. They allow individuals to see an in-network provider for general dental treatment and require referrals to see any kind of dental specialist. There is no out-of-network coverage, except for emergencies. Some of these plans also cover orthodontic services from an in-network provider.
The Dental Preferred Provider Organization (DPPO) plans allow individuals to see any dentist or specialist in- or out-of-network. There are greater cost savings to seeing a network-participating dentist. After the deductible is met, patients pay coinsurance for dental services under the dental PPO plan.
The Dental Exclusive Preferred Provider Organization (DEPO) plans are very similar to the Dental Preferred Provider Organization plans. The only difference is that the Dental Exclusive Preferred Provider Organization plans do not offer out-of-network coverage.
The Dental Indemnity plans do not require referrals. People with these plans pay co-insurance for the dental treatment they receive.
Cigna dental plans have certain limitations and exclusions that vary by state. For example, Cigna dental coverage is not retroactive and does not cover prescriptions, athletic mouth guards, etc. More information about Cigna’s exclusions and limitations is available on Cigna’s website. Be sure to read them before you choose a plan.
Dental care and dental insurance are important investments in your oral health. Cigna is a reliable, well-known company for insurance. Cigna offers several kinds of plans for independent buyers and employers. Most will be able to find good, affordable dental coverage through Cigna.
Before choosing a dental insurance plan from Cigna, be sure to understand the specific terms and exclusions. You should also get a personalized quote, since the rates published on the company’s website are the average low prices.
