Cigna Dental + Cigna Medical plans – the key to building savings and resilience.

When employers combine Cigna Dental with their Cigna Medical plan, they can see significant savings, which can really help in today’s economy. Your clients will save an average of 6%-8% in total medical costs.1

Our whole-person health approach to dental care.

At Cigna, we help your clients’ employees get the proactive, whole-person care they need to take on tomorrow’s challenges with a smile. We know that dental care is integral to an individual’s overall health. It can impact systemic health disorders and high-risk populations. Proper dental care can also have an effect on an individual’s self-esteem, stress level and employability.

Cigna Dental is rooted in data.

Through data integration, we can identify and engage employees with Cigna medical and dental coverage who have a diagnosis of a chronic health condition and have not seen a dentist in over seven months. Our precise tracking helps employees stay on top of their preventive care and, subsequently, helps them stay healthy.2

Our integrated approach allows us to catch conditions when they’re small and treat them more holistically, helping boost employee confidence and foster resilience.3,4 This single change can make all the difference – personally and professionally. We can even help treat conditions like diabetes, saving the diabetic population an average of $845 per member per year.5

Adding Cigna Dental to your clients’ Cigna medical plans can save your clients money while helping their employees thrive. For more information, click here or contact your Cigna representative today.
