PPO vs. DHMO

Cigna PPO

  • The Cigna PPO plan allows you to see any dentist in-network or out-of-network, but there is a limit to how much the plan pays for some covered services. You’ll save money when you use a provider in the Cigna Dental network.
  • Visit my.cigna.com to find a network dentist near you.

Cigna DHMO

  • With the Cigna DHMO plan, you choose a primary care dentist who directs your care. All services are paid on a copay basis according to the Patient Charge Schedule (PCS).
  • There are fewer dentists in the Cigna DHMO network than there are in the Cigna PPO network.
  • There is no out-of-network coverage with the DHMO plan.
  • Visit my.cigna.com to check whether your dentist is in the Cigna DHMO network. If they are not, you will need to choose a new dentist in the Cigna DHMO network.
