Enhanced Benefits for Expectant Mothers
Research shows women with periodontal (gum) disease may be at risk for pre-term babies. That's why we created the CIGNA Dental Oral Health Maternity Program, which enhances dental benefits for expectant members with both CIGNA medical and CIGNA dental coverage. Eligible members may receive 100% reimbursement of their copay or coinsurance* for these services performed during pregnancy:
periodontal scaling and root planing
periodontal maintenance
treatment of inflamed gums around wisdom teeth
And recognizing the potential risk for "pregnancy gingivitis", the frequency limitation for cleanings will be waived to include an additional cleaning performed during pregnancy.
