Cigna Dental Benefits

Indemnity Plan Features

The Cigna indemnity plan allows you to choose any dentist, but you will have out-of-pocket costs for deductibles, copayments, and coinsurance. In-network and out-of-network benefits differ substantially. See Summary of Dental Benefits and Coverage Matrix for maximums, deductibles, and coverage examples for the Cigna Dental/Vision HMO and Cigna Dental/Vision PPO plans.

HMO Plan Features

Under the Cigna HMO plan, your dentist must be a Cigna HMO Dental Network provider. Other basic features under the plan:

  • Dentist must be a Cigna HMO Dental Network provider
  • Your Cigna HMO Network dentist should refer you to specialists
  • No charge for preventive care (exams, routine cleanings, X-rays)
  • No annual or lifetime dollar maximums
  • No deductible
  • No claim forms

For covered procedures and patient charges under the Cigna Dental HMO Plan (DHMO), see the Patient Charge Schedule.

Cigna Vision Benefits

For vision coverage and benefits, see the Schedule of Vision Coverage serviced by EyeMed. Please note that in-network and out-of-network benefits differ substantially.

Effective July 1, 2024, Cigna Vision moved from VSP Vision to EyeMed. While there are no changes to your benefits under EyeMed, you now have access to more independent and retail providers. For any questions regarding your vision coverage, contact Cigna Vision directly at (888) 353-2653.
