Coinsurance
After you meet the applicable deductible, the Expatriate Dental Plan will pay a percentage of in-network dentists' negotiated fees, or, for out-of-network expenses, a percentage of the reasonable and customary (R&C) charges for eligible expenses (see "Defined Terms" for the definition of "Reasonable and Customary"). The exact percentage depends on the type of care you receive. You'll pay the remaining amount as coinsurance, plus any amounts above R&C charges. Please see the chart below for the applicable coinsurance rate. The coinsurance amount does not vary based on whether or not the care is received inside or outside of the United States.
Pre-Determination of Benefits
If you anticipate that charges will be more than $300 for a proposed treatment, a dental consultant can review the proposed treatment before work begins, and Cigna Global Health Benefits will inform you and your dentist of the amount of the covered charges.
