Remote OCONUS locations are those OCONUS countries where the
uniformed services do not have a fixed overseas dental treatment
facility (ODTF). This includes those countries with "part-time"
ODTFs. Refer to the list of countries in the Non-Remote
OCONUS Locations section. All OCONUS countries not on this
list are considered remote locations.
When obtaining non-orthodontic or non-implant services in remote
OCONUS areas, all enrolled members may seek care from any dentist
if a Host Nation Provider (HNP) listing has not been developed by their
respective TAO.
If the TAO develops a HNP list for specific remote
locations, the TDP enrollee will be required to seek care from dentists
on these lists in order for claims for covered services to be processed
for payment under the TDP.
For orthodontic treatment, a directory of HNPs specializing in
orthodontics is available. These dental practices have been
verified by TMA as having met certain Government quality criteria.
To find a HNP, access our
Host Nation Provider Directory. First, select
the Specialty Option and then select Orthodontics. You may
also contact your TAO
for a copy of this directory.
