Dental
Good oral health is important to your overall health and wellbeing. We offer two Dental plans through Cigna.
If you are also enrolled in the HDHP Silver or HDHP Gold you can use a Health Savings Account to pay for qualified dental expenses. Read more about Health Savings Accounts .
How does it work?
You can choose between the DHMO (Dental Health Maintenance Organization) plan and the DPPO (Dental Preferred Provider Organization) plan.
DHMO plan
The DHMO plan offers low cost services for low premiums, but you can only see an in-network dentist so it’s important to ensure you have one in your area.
You will need to select a dentist in the DHMO network and notify Cigna of your office selection prior to receiving covered services. You will not be able to change dentists for 31 days.
Each covered service has a fee associated with it, and these fees can be found in the downloads section.
DPPO plan
The DPPO plan allows you to see any dentist — although you save dollars if you see an in-network dentist — but the premiums and cost of services is higher. Costs of services vary between dentists, so make sure you find the right dentist for you by comparing costs of services across your options.
Preventive services are covered at no cost to you. The cost of non-preventive, basic and major services are shared between you and Cigna once you meet your individual or family deductible, depending upon which coverage tier you choose.
