Dental Terms
Below you will find easy-to-understand definitions for commonly used words.
Actual Billed Charges: The fee that a provider charges a patient who does not have dental insurance. If a patient
has dental insurance and visits a Total Cigna DPPO Network provider, the provider charges the negotiated rate/
contracted fee.
Balance Billing: When an out-of-network provider bills you for the dierence between the charges for a service and
what Cigna will pay for that service after coinsurance and Contracted Fee (CF), or Maximum Reimbursable Charge
(MRC) in AK and MA, have been applied. For example, an out-of-network provider may charge $100 to fill a cavity.
IfCF is $50 for that service and the coinsurance is 50%, Cigna will pay $25 and you will pay $25. Because you are
visiting an out-of-network provider, the provider may bill you the remaining $50; thus, your total out-of-pocket cost
will be $75. These charges are separate from any applicable deductible and coinsurance.
Calendar-Year Deductible: The dollar amount you must pay each year for eligible dental expenses before the
insurance begins paying for all dental services, if covered by your plan.
Calendar-Year Maximum: The most your plan will pay during a calendar year (12-month period beginning each
January 1). You’ll need to pay 100% out of pocket for any services after you reach your calendar-year maximum. This
typically applies to Class I, II and III.
Total Cigna DPPO Network: Dentists who have contracted with Cigna and agreed to accept a predetermined
contracted fee for the services provided to Cigna customers. Visiting a provider in this network means you’ll save the
most money because the fee is discounted.
Coinsurance: Your share of the cost of a covered dental service (a percentage amount). You pay coinsurance plus
any deductible amount not met yet for that calendar year. For example, if you go to the dentist and your visit costs
$200, the dentist sends a claim to Cigna. If you have already met your annual deductible amount, Cigna may pay
50% ($100) and you will pay a coinsurance of 50% ($100).
Contracted Fee (CF): The most Cigna will pay a dentist for a covered service or procedure for out-of-network dental
care that is based on a basic Total Cigna DPPO fee schedule within a specified area. See example provided under
Balance Billing.
Maximum Reimbursable Charge (MRC) – applies in AK and MA only: Also referred to as U&C, R&C and UCR. The
most Cigna will pay a dentist for a covered service or procedure for out-of-network dental care. Normally applies as
a percentile, based on the published prevailing HealthCare charges designated by zip code data. See example
provided under Balance Billing.
Non-participating Providers (Out-of-Network): Providers who have not contracted with Cigna to oer you savings.
They charge their own fees. Covered expenses for Non-participating Providers are based on the Contracted Fee,
which may be less than Actual Billed Charges. Non-participating Providers can bill you for amounts exceeding
covered expenses.
Waiting Period: The amount of time that you must be enrolled in the plan before certain benefits are payable.
Waiting periods may vary by state. You may be eligible to waive the waiting period for Classes II & III if you have a
continuous 12 months of prior coverage from a valid dental insurance plan which included coverage for Class III,
Major Restorative Services, and not more than 63 days have lapsed between the prior coverage and this plan. Any
prior dental insurance plan that did not include Class III services will not count toward waiting period waiver. Waiting
periods are waived for Class II and Class III in Maine if under the age of 19.
