Visit a TRICARE OCONUS Preferred Dentist to Make
Payment and Claim Submission Easier
TRICARE Dental Program (TDP) enrollees seeking
civilian dental care in overseas locations now have a
new and improved process, thanks to the TRICARE
Management Activity (TMA) and United
Concordia.
To ensure members receive quality care in a clean and
professional environment, individual dental offices
are visited by a contracted dental professional.
During these visits, the professional will meet
with the host nation dentist and their staff and
complete a comprehensive checklist developed by
TMA.
Dental offices outside the Continental United States
(OCONUS) meeting all of the checklist
requirements are listed on the official Host
National Provider Listing available at
www.TRICAREdentalprogram.com.
Following a favorable visit, these dentists are invited
to become TRICARE OCONUS Preferred Dentists
(TOPDs). This designation, also
indicated on the Host Nation Provider Listing,
means these dentists have signed an agreement with
United Concordia to provide you with additional
conveniences.
TOPDs will:
Submit predeterminations to United Concordia
for complex and costly services before
rendering treatment.
Complete and submit your claim forms.
Require you to pay only your applicable
cost-share (if any) at the time
of service.
Please remember that current OCONUS Non-Availability
and Referral Form (NARF) requirements remain in
place for orthodontics and implant-related dental
services.
Detailed information and the complete list of preferred
dentists are available on the TDP Web site. If you
do not have access to the Internet, you may call
the United Concordia OCONUS Dental Unit toll
free at 1-888-418-0466 or e-mail
us at oconus@ucci.com.
