Using a Cigna Healthcare Dental Provider

The out-of-pocket costs you face when seeing dental providers may depend on the type of Cigna Healthcare dental plan you have. 

• An HMO (Health Maintenance Organization) plan generally restricts members to visiting dental providers within the Cigna Healthcare network. In most cases, care administered by a non-Cigna Healthcare dental provider will not be covered by an HMO plan. In addition, you may be required to see a primary dentist first for all your dental needs and may only visit with a dental specialist if issued a referral. 
  
  
• A PPO (Preferred Provider Organization) plan grants policyholders some more freedom to seek care outside of the Cigna Healthcare network and still receive at least partial care in most cases. PPO plan members are not bound by a primary dentist and are free to make specialist appointments without a referral. 

Cigna Healthcare Dental Coverage Options

One way to obtain Cigna Healthcare dental coverage is with a Cigna Healthcare Medicare Advantage plan that offers dental benefits.

Medicare Advantage plans provide all of the same coverage as Original Medicare (Part A and Part B), and plans can also cover things not included in Original Medicare. Dental coverage is an additional benefits available with some Medicare Advantage plans, along with things like coverage of vision care or prescription drugs. 

Some Cigna Healthcare Medicare Advantage plans include a dental allowance that may be used toward the cost of dental care at any dentist who accepts Medicare. The allowance is not restricted to dentists within the Cigna Healthcare network.

Some people may choose to get Cigna Healthcare dental coverage through a standalone dental insurance plan. Cigna Healthcare dental plans can provide 100% coverage of preventive dental care such as exams, cleanings and routine X-rays. Restorative care such as fillings, root canals, extractions, crowns, bridges and dentures along with orthodontic care like braces may also be covered defending on plan level.

You do not have to be enrolled in a Cigna Healthcare Medicare plan to enroll in a standalone Cigna Healthcare dental plan.
