Dental Terms

Below you will find easy-to-understand  definitions for commonly used words.

Cigna DPPO Advantage Network: Dentists that have contracted with Cigna and agreed to accept a predetermined contracted fee for the services provided to Cigna customers. Visiting a provider in this network means you’ll save the most money, because the fee is discounted.

Out-of-Network: Providers who have not contracted with Cigna to offer you savings. They charge their own standard fees.

Balance Billing: When an out-of-network provider bills you for the difference between the charges for a service, and what Cigna will pay for that service after coinsurance and Maximum Allowable Charge (MAC) have been applied. For example, an out-of-network provider may charge $100 to fi  a cavity. If MAC is $50 for that service and the coinsurance is 50%, Cigna will pay $25 and you will pay $25. Because you are visiting an out-of-network provider, the provider may bill you the remaining $50; thus your total out-of-pocket cost will be $75. These charges are separate from any applicable deductible and coinsurance.

Calendar Year Maximum: The most your plan will pay during a calendar year (12-month period beginning each January 1). You’ll need to pay 100% out of pocket for any services after you reach your calendar year maximum. This typically applies to Class 1, 2 and 3.

Lifetime Maximum: The most your plan will pay during your lifetime. You’ll need to pay 100% out of pocket for any services after you reach your lifetime maximum. A lifetime maximum typically applies to Class 4 services. (Applicable to Cigna Dental 1500 plan.)

Coinsurance: Your share of the cost of a covered dental service (a percentage amount). You pay coinsurance plus any deductible amount not met yet for that calendar year. For example, if you go to the dentist and your visit costs

$200, the dentist sends a claim to Cigna. If you have already met your annual deductible amount, Cigna may pay 80% ($160) and you will pay a coinsurance of 20% ($40).

Calendar Year Deductible: The dollar amount you must pay each year for eligible dental expenses before the insurance begins paying for basic, major restorative care services and orthodontia, if covered by your plan.

Lifetime Deductible: The dollar amount you must pay once in your lifetime for eligible dental expenses before the insurance plan begins paying for Basic, Major Restorative Care Services and Orthodontia, if covered by your plan.

Maximum Allowable Charge (MAC): The most Cigna will pay a dentist for a covered service or procedure for out-of-network dental care that is based on a basic Cigna DPPO Advantage fee schedule within a specifi                                                                                                                                                                area. See example provided under Balance Billing.

Standard Fee: The fee that a provider charges to a patient for a service who does not have dental insurance.

If a patient has dental insurance and visits a Cigna DPPO Advantage Network provider, the provider charges the negotiated rate/contracted fee.

Contracted Fee: The fee to be charged for a service that Cigna has negotiated with a contracted provider on your behalf.
