Eligibility for the TRICARE Retiree Dental Program includes "gray area" retirees
The Enhanced TRICARE Retiree Dental Program is available to all military
retirees (including gray area retirees)
and their eligible family members, un-remarried surviving spouses and their
eligible children, as well as MOH
recipients and their eligible immediate family members. The program covers
cleanings, exams, fillings, root
canals, gum surgery, oral surgery and dental accidents on the first day that
coverage becomes effective; after
12 months of being in the program, it then covers crowns, bridges, partials,
braces and dental implants. (New
retirees who enroll within four months after retirement from the Uniformed
Services or transfer to Retired
Reserve status are eligible to waive the 12-month waiting period for major
services; supporting documentation
is required)
The Enhanced TRDP provides every enrollee an annual maximum of $1,300 per
person, a $1200 annual maximum
for dental accidents and a $1750 lifetime maximum for orthodontics. It is
important to note that the money that
the TRDP pays out for preventive and diagnostic services doesn't count against
the annual maximum - those
benefits are in addition to the $1300. Retirees can find more information on the
program, as well as enroll
24/7/365, online by visiting trdp.org <http://trdp.org/> .
TRDP enrollees realize the maximum program savings (an average of 22%) when
seeing a network provider.
To find a network provider, as well as utilize the Consumer Toolkit to view
processed claims, see annual
maximum information, sign up to receive paperless EOBs and more, please visit
trdp.org <http://trdp.org/> . You can also obtain
