Dental plan benefit uplifts announced by CIGNA

CIGNA HealthCare is uplifting the reimbursement limits on its dental plans from the 1st of April 2010.

The changes include higher preventative treatment limits on Diamond - the top level plan and higher preventative, minor and major treatment limits on Crystal - the lower level NHS plan. In addition, on the Oral Health co-insurance plan range, all claims for NHS treatment will now be reimbursed at 100%.

CIGNA's head of product management, Kirsty Jagielko says: "Our unique dental management information reporting tells us which benefits our members claim for most frequently - and therefore value the most. Twice yearly dental checkups are an important part of a preventative oral care routine and we are encouraged to see a trend appearing over time which seems to show this can impact on fewer minor and major claims."
