About this file
This is a dental insurance certificate rider document issued by CIGNA Health and Life Insurance Company for the City of Lewisville, effective January 1, 2026, establishing extraterritorial provisions applicable to employees residing in states other than Texas. The document outlines state-specific insurance regulations and coverage provisions for employees located in Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Louisiana, Montana, South Dakota, Utah, and Washington. The certificate rider forms part of the health and dental insurance policy (Policy No. 3328347) and supersedes previously issued documents, applying only to benefit plans made available, for which employees are eligible, which have been elected, and which are currently effective.
The document establishes dependent coverage definitions, eligibility rules, and dental benefits extensions specific to each state's legal requirements. Key provisions include coverage for adoptive children, foster children, and newborns from the date of birth or placement, with specified notification timelines and premium charge procedures. Dental benefits extensions for total disability continue coverage for services completed within 90 days after insurance cessation if treatment was recommended and commenced while insured, excluding routine examinations and orthodontic services unless commenced during the insured period. State-specific provisions address military duty continuation, claim payment timelines (within 30 days for Louisiana residents), teledentistry coverage parity, and dependent age limits varying by state (ranging from age 24 to 26), with extended coverage for full-time students and disabled dependents. The document emphasizes that participating dental providers may charge usual and customary rates for non-covered services and must provide treatment plans with estimated costs prior to service delivery.
