Cigna Orthodontist – Prosper & Frisco
Learn More About the Benefits of Cigna
Getting orthodontic treatment is something that is often put off. After all, it is an investment – especially for those with more complex alignment issues that need to be corrected. Choosing an orthodontist who is in-network with your dental insurance plan is the best way to maximize your benefits and lower your out-of-pocket cost for your treatment. At Buchwald Orthodontics, we are proud to work directly with Cigna to ensure that you are paying the lowest possible cost for your treatment. Read on to learn more about Cigna and how your plan works.
Cigna Coverage Availability & Fees
When it comes to orthodontic coverage – every plan is different. If you know that you or your child need braces, it is important to select a policy that offers coverage for orthodontic treatment. This way, you won’t be left laying for everything out of pocket. Some plans even have different stipulations about age. With your Cigna dental plan, you may receive partial coverage for the following services:
- Dental X-Rays
- Initial Consultation
- Orthodontic Treatment
- Orthodontic Retention (retainers, etc.)
- Other Necessary Treatments
The Benefits of Choosing an In-Network Orthodontist
We are in-network with Cigna. This means that your orthodontist has a contract with the insurance company to establish a fair and average fee for covered orthodontic services that they agree to charge. Cigna then covers a percentage of that cost. Alternatively, out-of-network orthodontists can charge higher fees for their services, but you will need to pay the difference in price in addition to your out-of-pocket percentage of the insurance company’s pricing. By visiting an in-network orthodontist, you know that you will be responsible for the lowest possible cost.
