Our dental PPO plans let you visit any licensed dentist, but you will save the most money if you see an in-network dentist. Services received from an out-of-network dentist may incur higher out-of-pocket costs. With more than 3,900 network dentists in Arizona and 152,000 network dentists nationwide, it's easy to find the right dentist for your family!

Plan Available:
- Cigna DHMO
Cigna's Dental Health Maintenance Organization (DHMO) plan on the Cigna Dental Care Access Plus Network offers you no deductibles or dollar limits and its care that is easy to use at a wallet-friendly price. You choose a network general dentist to manage your overall care, pay a fixedb portion of the cost per visit, and your plan picks up the rest. Remember, you won't be covered if you go to a dentist who is not in our network. Detailed procedure costs are outlined on your Patient Charge Schedule (PCS) which makes your coverage simple, straightforward forward, and transparent! (Plan not available in AK, ME, MT, NH, NM, ND, PR, SD, VI, VT, and WY.)
