Many new patients aren’t sure what to expect at their first appointment, especially when insurance is involved. This checklist covers exactly what to bring, why each item matters and how to make sure your visit goes smoothly from start to finish.
Beginning dental treatment with a new insurance company or provider can be complicated. Bringing the right documents will help your dentist focus on your care and saves you time during your visit.
If you have Cigna insurance we can verify your coverage. With a copy of your insurance card and a valid form of identification we can quickly obtain a confirmation of coverage from the dentist and begin your treatment.
Your Cigna insurance card should be at the top of your list. It has your member ID, group number, and Cigna’s support number, all the info we’ll need to check your coverage.
Before your visit, download and complete your new patient forms. These are available on our website. If you don’t get a chance, don’t worry, we can provide them when you arrive. Completing them ahead of time means less time in the waiting room and more time with your provider.
Bring a list of any known allergies, over-the-counter supplements, or prescription medications you are currently using. Include any long-term health issues like diabetes, high blood pressure or immune system conditions.
Write down any queries or objectives you may have, whether they have to do with pain management or routine upkeep.
For instance-
Some dental services may have a co-pay or payment due at the time of appointment, even though your insurance will cover the majority of it. Hence, it’s a good idea to bring a card, checkbook, or some cash in case you need to pay for anything not covered.” Cigna customer support or the dentist's office can provide you with clarification in advance if you have any questions regarding your co-pay.
