*Cigna’s Maximum Reimbursable Charge (MRC) is based on the 90th percentile, which means that 9 out of 10 dentists’ fees (for the same service in the same geographical area) are within Cigna’s MRC. If your provider charges more than Cigna’s MRC, you are responsible for paying the difference.
**If you were enrolled in the Bloomin’ Brands DPPO dental plan and received preventive care in a prior year, your annual maximum benefit will increase to $1,750 for the following year. Each of your covered dependents must also obtain preventive care to receive an increase in their own annual maximum benefit. When you or your dependents remain enrolled in the DPPO dental plan and continue to receive preventive care, the annual maximum benefit will continue to increase the following year, up to a maximum of $2,000.
The Cigna Dental Oral Health Integration Program offers additional dental care for employees who are being treated by a physician for certain illnesses and are enrolled in either of BBI’s Dental plans (DPPO or DHMO).
