Benefit Plan Provisions: In-Network Reimbursement
For services provided by a Cigna Dental PPO network dentist, Cigna Dental will reimburse the dentist according to a Fee Schedule or Discount Schedule. For services provided by a non-network dentist, Cigna Dental will reimburse according to the Maximum Reimbursable Charge. The MRC is calculated at the 90th percentile of all provider submitted amounts in the geographic area. The dentist may balance bill up to their usual fees. All deductibles, plan maximums, and service specific maximums cross accumulate between in and out of network. Benefit frequency limitations are based on the date of service and cross accumulate between in and out of network. The plan will only pay for covered charges up to the yearly Benefits Maximum, when applicable. Benefit-specific Maximums may also apply.
Non-Network Reimbursement
Cross Accumulation
Calendar Year Benefits Maximum
Calendar Year Deductible
This is the amount you must pay before the plan begins to pay for covered charges, when applicable. Benefit-specific deductibles may also apply. Pretreatment review is available on a voluntary basis when dental work in excess of $200 is proposed. When more than one covered Dental Service could provide suitable treatment based on common dental standards, Cigna will determine the covered Dental Service on which payment will be based and the expenses that will be included as Covered Expenses. This provision does not apply to composite (white/tooth-colored) fillings on molars. The Cigna Dental Oral Health Integration Program offers enhanced dental coverage for customers with certain medical conditions. There is no additional charge to participate in the program. Those who qualify can receive reimbursement of their coinsurance for eligible dental services. Eligible customers can also receive guidance on behavioral issues related to oral health. Reimbursements under this program are not subject to the annual deductible, but will be applied to the plan annual maximum. For more information on how to enroll in this program and a complete list of terms and eligible conditions, go to www.mycigna.com or call customer service 24/7 at 1-800-Cigna24.
