Choosing a Network Dentist

Consult Cigna's online provider directory for the most up-to-date listings. Participating providers are neither employees nor agents of Cigna or its affiliates. Availability and participation are not guaranteed and subject to change without notice. Again, refer to the online provider directory or call the toll-free number on your ID card for the most current information.

  • If you enroll in the DMO Plan, you must select a dentist from a list of participating dentists. Your dentist will provide or coordinate all your dental care, including referring you to participating specialists when necessary. If you elect family coverage, each covered dependent may choose a different dentist from among the list of participating dentists. Once you select your dentist, you and your covered dependents will receive an identification card from Cigna.

    Reminder! When you schedule an appointment, you should mention that you are covered under the DMO.

  • If you enroll in the Basic PPO Plan or Buy-Up PPO Plan, you may receive care from any dentist. However, using a preferred provider organization (PPO) participating dentist may result in savings because they have agreed to provide care at negotiated fees. They will also file claims for you.

If You Want to Change Dentists
You may change dentists within the DMO at any time by notifying Cigna at 1-800-CIGNA24 (244-6224); the change will be effective the next day.
