2026 Dental Office Reference Guides: Key Updates to Support Your Practice

May 14, 2026

Updated versions of the Dental Office Reference Guide for the Cigna Dental Care® (DHMO) and Cigna DPPO networks are available.

Providers can access the guides by logging into the Cigna for Health Care Professionals website at CignaforHCP.com > Resources > Reference Guides > Dental Reference Guides.

The revised Dental Office Reference Guide is incorporated by reference into your Network Dentist Agreement and may supersede certain terms and definitions in your Agreement. Policies may vary based on state regulations.

Each Guide outlines Cigna Dental’s programs and expectations, including guidance on:

  • Digital solutions: electronic claim submission, electronic funds transfer, Cigna for Health Care Professionals website
  • Billing guidelines and coordination of benefits
  • Quality and utilization management
  • Administrative policies for some codes or procedures
  • Cigna Network Rewards Program®
  • Cultural competency
