Whether you choose a dentist in the CIGNA Dental Core Network or outside the network, your coverage includes a wide range of eligible services after you satisfy any waiting period and meet your deductible.

HOW ARE MY MEDICAL CLAIMS PAID?
Medical claim payment process Cigna updates quarterly Health Statement; sends alert or mails to your home, based on preference setting. Sick visit to an in-network doctor/hospital/facility. Show Cigna Choice Fund ID card to obtain Cigna discounted rates. Cigna provides an Explanation of Benefits or EOB (“receipt”) showing: Doctor’s fee, Cigna discount, amount billed, amount deducted from the HSA, amount paid to doctor, remaining HSA balance, and what you saved. Doctor bills Cigna. If Auto Claim Forwarding was elected, Cigna automatically subtracts the amount owed to the doctor from your HSA and pays the doctor. If no Auto Claim Forwarding in place, you have the option to pay the doctor bill using your HSA (debit card/ checkbook) or pay out of pocket. Cigna receives the claim and processes it based on the HSA- qualified plan deductible, covered expenses and Cigna-negotiated discounts. Confidential, unpublished property of Cigna.
