Cigna Coverage Availability & Fees

Cigna offers a wide range of dental insurance plans, each of which offers distinct benefits and coverage levels. We encourage you to set aside a bit of time to get to know the details of your unique policy.

In the meantime, here are some general notes on the coverage that is often available through Cigna PPO plans:

Preventive services (such as exams, cleanings, and X-rays) are commonly covered at 100%, meaning you may not have any out-of-pocket costs for these essential treatments.
Basic services (like fillings) are often covered at around 80%, so you will be responsible for the remaining 20% of the cost.
Major services (including crowns, bridges, and dentures) are typically covered at 50%, which means your insurance may pay half while you cover the other half.

This 100/80/50 structure is common for many Cigna PPO dental plans, but individual coverage details and exclusions can vary. Keep in mind as well that your plan likely includes:

A waiting period before you will be eligible for certain types of benefits.
A deductible that you must pay out of pocket before your insurance will pay for anything.
An annual maximum, a yearly limit on the amount that Cigna will pay for approved services.

Since our practice is an in-network Cigna dentist in New Haven, we have a contract with your insurance company that controls fees. This means you can get more value out of your annual maximum when you visit us rather than an out-of-network practice. Plus, we may be able to strategically schedule major procedures to allow you to use two annual maximums instead of one.
