Large Nationwide Network of Providers!

The Cigna HMO dental plan has comprehensive coverage for 380+ procedures, from routine preventative to major, including crowns, dentures, and extractions, all at $0 member copays.

There is no set calendar year maximum dollar benefit. There is no waiting period for any covered service. Whether it’s a cleaning or crown, all services are available to the enrollee day one. And there are no surprises as the copays for every covered procedure are listed in your Certificate of Insurance. Your dentist may never charge more than this co-pay. Also, many Cigna providers extend discounts on non-covered procedures, such as implants.

Cigna has a nationwide network of highly qualified dentists that have been pre-screened and thoroughly evaluated prior to their acceptance. As with all HMO plans, you must select a dentist from the Cigna network. However, you may change dentists at any time by calling Cigna.
