Insurance & Payment Options
Cigna PPO — In-Network
Georgetown Orthodontics is in-network with Cigna PPO. If you have Cigna, your coverage applies directly — no complex claims process on your end.
Other PPO Plans
We file courtesy claims with most PPO insurance plans. We'll verify your coverage at your first visit using OrthoFi. Most PPO plans have an orthodontic benefit that covers roughly one-third to one-half of total treatment cost.
OrthoFi — Flexible Payment Plans
OrthoFi is our payment management system — it handles insurance verification, claim filing, and flexible monthly payment plans. You can customize your plan based on your treatment cost, insurance coverage, and monthly budget. Manage everything online.
We do not participate in HMO plans.
