Cigna UK is one of the UK’s leading providers of managed employee healthcare benefits and services. They have launched an optional, customised extension of cover for its dental plans. This new service allows customers to add family members including parents, parents-in-law and older children, to their corporate dental plans. This is a Tailored Family Dental coverage option.

Cigna confirm that this plan will meet the needs of customers who are considered part of the ‘Sandwich Generation’. The people responsible for the care of and providing healthcare funding for members of their extended families.

Who is the family dental coverage available to?

Family dental cover is available for small to large sized clients, on a company paid or flex salary sacrifice basis. You can choose to add this to all levels of cover within both of Cigna’s DentaCare and OralHealth dental plans.

How can cover be tailored?

The dental family care service offers customers the option of selecting the level of cover best suited for themselves and their unique family situation and needs. The level of dentist charges covered can be tailored to individuals on a customer’s plan. For example, the level of cover a customer chooses for him or herself may be different from the level of cover the individual chooses for parents, parents-in-law and/or older children. The single rate (not the family member rate) applies per relative, making this a truly tailored, competitive and comprehensive option.

Customers also benefit from having immediate access to Cigna’s comprehensive benefits, without the need to be underwritten.
