About this file
This document is a Cigna Health and Life Insurance Company certificate rider for extraterritorial legislation effective January 1, 2025, covering multiple state-specific riders for employees located in District of Columbia, Indiana, Louisiana, Nevada, Oregon, South Carolina, and Washington. The document provides state-specific details about insurance coverage, eligibility, definitions of dependents, and variations in benefits and terms for each state. Each state rider modifies the standard insurance certificate to comply with local legal requirements, with specific attention to dependent coverage, adoption provisions, and unique state-specific definitions and limitations.
The riders detail nuanced variations in dependent coverage across states, such as age limits (ranging from 21 to 26 years old), provisions for children with disabilities, and definitions of domestic partnerships. The document also includes important notices about health care benefit managers, coordination of benefits, and state-specific dental care provisions. While the core insurance offering remains consistent, each state rider introduces specific modifications to ensure compliance with local insurance regulations, demonstrating Cigna's approach to tailoring coverage to meet diverse state-level legal and consumer needs.

Eligibility - Effective Date Choice of Participating Dental Facility NOTE: For members receiving services from LA Providers:
The CDH managed dental care network has been carefully selected for your convenience. Under Louisiana law, you may choose to go to a non-plan LA dentist. If you want to make this choice and there is another dental plan for you to select, it is recommended that you select that plan and benefits. If you choose the in-network plan you can still go to a non-plan dentist. However, the non-plan dentist is not under contract with CDH and does not have to charge you in accordance with the CDH Patient Charge Schedule. Therefore, you will have to pay the dentist’s usual and customary fees for any procedures performed, minus a minimal payment from CDH representing the amount we would have paid to a dentist under contract with us. Please call CDH Member Services at 1-800-Cigna24 for further explanation and arrangement for payment.
