1 DPPO in-network services are based on the fee amount the DPPO provider has agreed to charge for covered services. A provider
will not bill you for charges in excess of the in-network negotiated fees. Visit www.mycigna.com to find the closest DPPO provider.
2 DPPO out-of-network services are based on the reasonable and customary (R&C) amount that Cigna determines using the lowest
of either the dentist’s actual charge, the dentist’s usual charge, or the charge of most dentists in the same geographic area for the
same/similar service. Out-of-network dentists may bill you for amounts that exceed the R&C fee limit.
3 Under the DHMO, Cigna allows your network dentist to charge a certain amount. Then, you pay a [fixed portion/percentage] of
that cost, as listed in the Patient Charge Schedule (PCS), which can be found on www.mycignaplans.com. The DHMO pays the rest.
