DO NOT.......I REPEAT....DO NOTTT get coverage through them. A bunch of scammers that'll tell you they cover most procedures and services and it's all BS. Even when I cancelled my coverage, they billed me for another 3 months!! Called back to get a refund 3 months after I cancelled and they told me they can only refund the last month?! Customer service is TERRIBLE. They make you wait on hold for 20 mins while "transferring" you, then hang up on you. I was finally refunded the full amount after having to talk to 4 Reps and 2 supervisors.
Beware and stay away!
I have had an ongoing issue with two claims since June 2016. The dates of services, in question are 3-17-2016 and 3-24-2016. I have primary and secondary coverage and my dentist still made me pay out of pocket. I did question the business office manager as to why I had to pay out of pocket since I have two coverages. She stated that I would later be reimbursed. I faxed over claims forms requesting that payment be sent to me versus the dentist. I also faxed over the bills, from the dentist office, stating that I had a credit and credit card receipts proving I paid it. The dentist received the payment and advised me that they refund me the money and then weeks went by and the business... Read More
I was sent to a dentist in Ridgefield CT., who could not even discern which tooth was bonded and a correction that was to be made after the original correction was made (by a younger associate which fell off). The older dentist, he AND his assistant, then LIED EVEN AFTER I showed them the X-RAYS!!!! OUTRAGEOUS!! I had wonderful dentists in NYC then move to CT and Cigna plan and have had AWFUL experiences.
Poor coverage. Recently had a root canal done and they only covered $168 out of $1170. For a cleaning, they covered only $68 out of a $170 bill. The reason is because I see an out of network dentist and they only allow $400 contractual for a root canal. What dentist charges $400 for a root canal. Don't waste your time with their dental insurance. If anything, you lose money as I pay $36/month for this coverage.
I have normally had a positive experience with Cigna Dental. That changed when I was told by my dentist that I needed to have a gum graft. Long story short- the type of gum graft I need is a connective tissue or subepithelial graft. This is the most common gum graft according to my research. It is also a graft that is not covered by Cigna Dental. Not. One. Dime. Word of advice- check the covered procedures and get the insurance codes from your dentist. All gum grafts are not the same and they are definitely NOT all covered by Cigna Dental.
Bonita Springs, FL Dental Office -Westland Dental Group - Called on Friday afternoon to say that Cigna Dental was no longer accepted at the office impacting my Monday appointment. Called Cigna Dental on Saturday, "We have a valid contract with this office."
Cigna Customer service rep unwilling to transfer to Manager who was "busy." Scores should be negative integers for both Cigna Dental and Westland Dental.
Don't fall for this. They do not cover anything.
Cigna only cares about getting your premium, and their dental insurance does not cover anything. I had to get my tooth pulled and I had to pay everything out of my own pocket including anesthesia. A simple tooth extraction, and they couldn't cover not one item on the list. Cigna Dental has a disclaimer that you have to have a minimum of two teeth pulled on the same day, and so on and so forth. Who gets two teeth pulled on the same day? Why are we paying $60 month for if they can't give me any coverage?
I selected Cigna Dental after conforming that my dentist accepted their insurance. Their online information indicated that in and out of network provider coverage for preventative care (bi-annual checkups) were fully covered. When I received a bill after having a check-up/cleaning, I noticed that Cigna indicated that my dentist is out of network. When I asked why there was a charge, they indicated that they had limitations on preventative care. Total fraud. I appealed their decision and of course, they ruled in their own favor.
Absolutely horrendous service
I signed up 1 month ago, paid the first month premium over the phone while I was signing up...this am I get a reminder e-mail that my next premium is due...tried to sign up online at CIGNA but after I enter all info correctly, I might ad, I was told, sorry, can't do...so I called the original phone # I had signed up at and they found my acct., then I called CIGNA again, and told them that and they still could not find my acct....so, now I am waiting to hear back from the woman I signed up with ...this is the worst insurance ever!
