Dental Insurance Plans

Dental insurance solutions provided through USAA Life General Agency, Inc. (LGA) (known in CA and NY as USAA Health and Life Insurance Agency), which acts as an agent for select insurance companies to provide products to USAA members. LGA representatives are salaried and receive no commissions. However, LGA receives compensation from those companies, which may be based on the total quantity and quality of insurance coverage purchased through LGA. Plans not available in all states. Each company has sole financial responsibility for its own products.

Dental Plans are insured by Cigna Health and Life Insurance Company with network management services provided by Cigna Dental Health, Inc. Rates may vary based on age, family size, geographic location (residential zip code) and plan design.

Thereafter, rates are subject to change upon 45 days' prior notice. In NC, dental rates are guaranteed for a 12-month period.

Cigna Dental insurance coverage shall be only for the classes of services referred to in The Schedule of a purchased plan. Discounts are not available in MD and VA. Dental plans apply waiting periods to covered basic (6 months)*, major (12 months) and orthodontic (12 months) dental care services. In WV, a 3-month waiting period applies to covered basic, major and orthodontic dental care services. In NM, a 6-month waiting period applies to covered major dental care services.

Some covered services are determined by age: topical application of fluoride or sealant, space maintainers, and materials for crowns and bridges. If the plan covers replacement of teeth, there is no payment for replacement of teeth that are missing prior to coverage. In FL, MD, NY, VA, VT and OH, a 12-month waiting period applies to coverage for missing teeth. In NM, a 6-month waiting period applies to coverage for missing teeth. Benefits are not payable during any applicable waiting period.

*The Cigna Dental Value 1000 plan does not include a waiting period to covered basic dental care services.

The policy may be cancelled by Cigna due to failure to pay premium, fraud (in VA, any act, practice or omission that constitutes fraud), ineligibility, when the insured no longer lives in the service area, or if we cease to offer policies of this type or any individual dental plans in the state, in accordance with applicable law. You may cancel the policy, on the first of the month following our receipt of your written notice. In VA, you may cancel the policy on the date of our receipt of your written cancellation notice, unless otherwise stated. We reserve the right to modify this policy, including policy provisions, benefits and coverages, consistent with state or federal law. The policy renews on a calendar year basis.
