  • Cigna Dental Care Access (formerly Cigna Dental Care HMO)

    Cigna offers an HMO-type plan with low copays and no limit on your annual benefit. If you choose this plan, you and your enrolled dependents must select an in-network primary care dentist (PCD) or one will be assigned to you based on your zip code. For maximum flexibility, each enrolled member may select a different in-network dental provider.

    To locate a PCD, please click here, click the Find a Doctor, Dentist or Facility button, or call Cigna at 1-800-CIGNA24 (244-6224). You can change your PCD at any time by calling Cigna or going online. Your new PCD designation will be effective the first of the month following the date you make the change.

  • Delta Dental (PPO)

    Delta Dental offers a Preferred Provider Organization (PPO) dental plan with in-network and out-of-network benefits. This plan has an extensive network of dentists and facilities. Once you have met your deductible, the plan pays a percentage of the charges based on the type of service provided. You can take advantage of lower costs by using in-network providers.
