The TRICARE Dental Program (TDP) is available to
family members of all active duty service members of any
of the seven uniformed services1 and to
National Guard/Reserve members and/or their families.
To be eligible for the TDP, the sponsor must have at
least 12 months2 remaining on his or her
service commitment at the time of enrollment.
If you reside in the CONUS service area, you will receive
your greatest value by visiting TDP participating dentists.
Participating dentists will complete and submit your claims
on your behalf, submit predetermination requests when
appropriate, and accept payment directly from United
Concordia.
1 The uniformed services include the
U.S. Air Force, U.S. Army, U.S. Navy, U.S. Marine Corps, U.S.
Coast Guard, Commissioned Corps of the National Oceanic and
Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), and U.S. Public
Health Service (USPHS).
2 When the Defense Enrollment
Eligibility Reporting System (DEERS) indicates
less than 12 months remaining, United Concordia will
validate the intent of the sponsor to continue their
service commitment. This service commitment will be
based on the time remaining in any single status or
in any uninterrupted combination of active duty or
National Guard/Reserve status.
