Dental

You can choose between two dental plans, both administered by Cigna. You can start participating on the first of the month after your date of hire (or the first of the month if you are hired on the first).

DHMO

Dental Health Maintenance Organization

You get care through the DHMO network of dentists. Except for emergencies, you must receive care from a network dentist to receive benefits.
You have no deductibles, no plan maximums and no claims to file.
You pay a set copay for care, according to a patient charge schedule.
Orthodontia is covered for children and adults.

DPPO

Dental Preferred Provider Organization

You can see any dentist, but you’ll save money if you use a Cigna network dentist.
You pay a $50 deductible per person ($150 family maximum) before the plan pays for basic and major care.
After you meet the deductible, you and the plan share costs (coinsurance).
Orthodontia is covered only for dependent children under age 26.

Dental Benefits at a Glance

Both plans cover preventive, basic and major care, as well as orthodontia (limited to dependent children under age 26 for the DPPO). Here’s a look at what’s covered and what you pay.

¹ Out-of-network benefits are paid according to a “reasonable and customary” schedule. If you use an out-of-network dentist, you could receive an additional bill for the difference between what the plan pays and what the dentist charges.
² For the DHMO, you may receive an extra cleaning during each 6-month period. For adults, you pay a $50 copay for the extra cleaning. For children, you pay a $40 copay for the extra cleaning.
³ The DHMO covers orthodontia for adults and children. The DPPO covers orthodontia for covered dependent children up to age 26.
⁴ Preventive care is not included in the annual maximum.
