The Good

Plans for Individuals and Families
Plans for Employers

Plans for Individuals and Families

Cigna offers three kinds of plan options to individuals and families with different dental insurance benefits:

Cigna Dental Preventive
Cigna Dental 1000
Cigna Dental 1500

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.

Plans for Employers

Cigna offers four kinds of plans that employers can provide to their employees in a benefits package:

Cigna Dental Care (DHMO)
Dental Preferred Provider Organization (DPPO)
Dental Exclusive Provider Organization (DEPO)
Dental Indemnity

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.

We switched to Cigna to get a larger nationwide network which is great and all but it seems they have expanded that network at the expense of smaller local networks which to me isn't great.

Like most dental insurance companies, Cigna basically covers a biannual checkup and most of the cost of, say, cavities. Beyond that, you're on your own. The annual and lifetime cap is pretty modest, and hope that your child doesn't need orthodontics.

Quality is decent, accepted by most, copay is average I guess. And like any other dental insurance, the monthly premium is dirt cheap

I have dental insurance with Cigna. They only offer a $1500 dental plan. I would like to have a higher dental coverage but they don't offer it. They also don't cover a larger portion of the cost of the dental service. They only cover x-rays for the 6 month checkups and not for dental work done at other times.

Easy to do business with. I would recommend them to other, however I feel like there should be more in network locations. More coverage would be preferable, but you don't pay much for dental anyways. Better to have it then not have it at all.

I’ve had Cigna for several years for my dental insurance and I’ve been very satisfied with their coverage. We get two free cleaning a year and they offer $2000 towards braces and I know a lot of insurances only offer $1000-1500. It helped a lot when I had all three of my girls in braces at the same time. If I ever have any questions they are able to help me and are very professional.

I am currently with Cigna for my dental insurance. I love that I dont have to pay a copay for preventative care. This totally makes it worth it to stay current on dental cleanings and checkups in order to avoid more expensive bills caused by waiting.

We liked the coverage that our Cigna Dental plan offered. We were able to find a great dentist that was covered by the plan. Because we were able to see the dentist every 6 months for cleanings, we were able to avoid pricey cavities. The work that had to be done had a reasonable co-pay that didn't break the bank.

Carry Cigna now. It is great for accepting not just locally but out of state too. Our coverage is great for our needs and they are always in touch on visit follow ups and information. Customer service is very helpful. I’ve used chat and call in and they followed up and even called the facilities to confirm coverage and give me names and details who to be in touch with if there was a problem.

Cigna doesn't cover anything. They apparently think that their clients just love taking test and don't believe any of the tests and procedures are actually necessary. They've been so awful and we've paid out of pocket in full for every single thing. I don't understand what the half a thousand dollars a month was even for.

We didn't have Cigna Dental insurance for very long, maybe, a year and a half, and then our employer switched companys. They were fine. Didn't have any problems with them and I think their coverage was pretty comparable to other company's. Accepted our family dentist and claims were paid in a timely manner.
