New proof of prior coverage requirement for Dental, Vision & Hearing applications

November 20, 2024
Cigna

Dental, Vision, & Hearing application process update

Proof of prior dental coverage required for waiting period waiver.

Starting November 21, Cigna HealthcareSM Supplemental Benefits Flexible Choice Dental, Vision & Hearing (DVH) applicants are required to provide proof of prior dental coverage documentation to waive the Class III waiting period.

If a customer answers "yes" to the prior coverage question when applying for a DVH policy, one of the following must be submitted:

  • Prior policy ID card
  • Summary of Dental Coverage including coverage dates
  • Explanation of Benefits (EOB) including date of service
  • Copy or photo of recent bill or invoice

This documentation can be provided either at:

  • the point of sale
    • via the Document Upload section (if applying via Express App)
    • as a paper copy (if applying via paper/U.S. Mail) or
  • while the application is pending in Book of Business on CignaForBrokers (go to Policy Details > Policy Information> Document Upload).

Proof of prior dental coverage documentation examples are listed on CignaForBrokers > My Messages for your convenience.

If you have any questions about this change, please contact the ARC. Thank you for your partnership!
