• Cigna benefit verification: We confirm active coverage, eligibility, and plan type.
• Out-of-pocket estimates: We review deductible, coinsurance/copay, and annual maximum (when available).
• Frequency and limitations: We check common limitations (for example, how often cleanings or exams are covered).
• Major treatment planning: For crowns, root canals, periodontal care, implants, and more, we help you understand how coverage may apply.
• Pre-treatment estimates: When appropriate, we can support pre-authorization or pre-determination requests for larger cases.
• Transparent scheduling: We help you plan the right appointment type and timing based on your needs.

Dental insurance is not one-size-fits-all. Even within Cigna, two members can have completely different
coverage based on their plan. Our process helps you avoid confusion and choose the best next step.

Services we can review with your Cigna plan

Patients often ask, “Does Cigna cover this?” The accurate answer is “It depends on your plan,” but we
can verify what’s available and explain typical categories. Here are common services we can discuss and
help estimate after verification:

• Preventive care: routine exams, cleanings, and many diagnostic x-rays (plan rules vary).
• Basic care: fillings, simple extractions, and limited emergency treatment.
• Major care: crowns, bridges, dentures, some periodontal procedures, and more complex services.
• Root canal therapy: endodontic treatment can be covered differently depending on tooth type and plan rules.
• Periodontal (gum) therapy: deep cleanings and maintenance may have frequency limits or prior requirements.
• Oral surgery: surgical extractions and related procedures may fall under different benefit categories.
• Implant-related services: benefits vary widely; some plans include implant coverage, many do not.
• Night guards: some plans offer coverage for appliances for grinding/clenching, subject to plan rules.
• Emergency visits: we can help you understand how urgent visits apply under your plan.

If you’re unsure what you need, we can start with an exam and appropriate imaging as clinically necessary,
then walk you through findings and options. Any estimate we provide is based on the information we can
verify and the clinical needs identified at your visit.

What we need to verify Cigna dental benefits quickly

To verify benefits and prepare an estimate, it helps to have a few details ready. The more complete your
information, the faster we can provide useful answers:

• Cigna member ID (and group number if listed)
• Subscriber (policy holder) name and date of birth
• Patient name and date of birth (if different from subscriber)
• Your preferred appointment day/time
• Reason for visit (cleaning, exam, pain, broken tooth, consultation, etc.)
• Any recent dental history (prior office, recent x-rays, ongoing treatment)

If you don’t have your card, don’t worry—many times we can still begin with the subscriber’s details
and confirm additional information as needed.

In-network vs out-of-network with Cigna

Many patients search for “Cigna in-network dentist in West New York,” but network participation can depend
on your exact Cigna plan. Some plans offer strong out-of-network benefits, while others may cover only
in-network care. There are also plans where coverage changes based on provider type or service category.

If your plan is in-network with our office, your fees are typically based on contracted
rates, and your out-of-pocket costs may be lower. If your plan is out-of-network, your
plan may still contribute based on allowed amounts, and you may be responsible for the difference between
the office fee and the plan’s allowance—depending on your plan’s rules. If your plan has no
out-of-network benefits, you may be responsible for the full cost of treatment.

Because the details vary, we focus on verifying what applies to you and giving an estimate you can use
to plan your visit. We also explain options in a respectful, no-pressure way so you can decide what works
best for your budget and timeline.

Cigna dental insurance FAQ

Do you accept Cigna dental insurance?

We work with many patients who have Cigna dental coverage and can help verify benefits and explain how your
plan applies. Acceptance and network status can vary by plan, so verification is the best next step.

Can you tell me my annual maximum remaining?

When the plan provides access to this information, we can review annual maximum details and what has been
used so far in the benefit year. Availability depends on plan rules and the information we can obtain during
verification.

How many cleanings does Cigna cover per year?

Many plans cover preventive cleanings on a set frequency, but the exact number (and whether additional
maintenance visits are covered) depends on your plan. We can verify frequency limits when available.

Will Cigna cover crowns, root canals, or gum treatment?

These services are often covered under basic or major categories depending on plan design and clinical
needs. We can verify your benefits and provide an estimate once the recommended treatment is known.

Do I need a pre-authorization for major work?

Some plans require or strongly recommend pre-treatment estimates for certain procedures. If appropriate,
we can help you request the information needed so you can make informed decisions before starting care.
