TRICARE Dental Program (TDP) premiums are
determined by the TDP enrollment plan (single
or family) and the military status of the
sponsor.
For enrolled active duty family members (ADFMs),
the Government assumes 60 percent of the cost of your
TDP premium while you pay 40 percent. If the military
status of your sponsor changes from active duty to
National Guard/Reserve, your premiums will
change accordingly.
Premium Amounts
Your TDP premium amounts change annually on
February 1st.

Premiums are paid on a monthly basis. They must
be paid in full. There are no circumstances when
a partial premium can be paid. If you fail to pay
your premiums during the mandatory 12-month
enrollment period, the Government will not pay any
portion of the premium for the remaining months.
United Concordia will collect the full amount -
Government and member portions - of
any remaining premium due for the 12-month
enrollment period from you. Failure to pay the required
premiums may result in referral of the account to a
collection agency.
