How the DHMO Option Works
If you decide to enroll in a DHMO option for the first time or add new dependents for coverage under this option, you must select a primary care dentist in order to receive care. You only receive benefits if you use a Cigna DHMO dentist; however, you can change your dentist during the year. Please Note: Requests to change your DHMO dentist will take effect on the first of the month following the date the request was made. If you need assistance, prior to the first of the following month, you can call Cigna at (800) 790-3086.
If you're interested in enrolling in the DHMO, you should consult the participating provider directory. The directory lists the dentists who are members of the network. You may view an online provider directory by visiting the Benefits Web Center on My Health. Once enrolled, you can view an online provider directory by accessing http://mycigna.com. You can also call Cigna at (800) 790-3086 if you need help finding a provider.
