Active duty personnel may enroll their family members in the
Uniformed Services Active Duty Family Member Dental Plan (FMDP).
The
TRICARE - FMDP is administered by United Concordia Companies, Inc. in Camp Hill,
Pennsylvania. It is a voluntary Comprehensive dental plan available
to family members of all active duty Uniformed Services
personnel. When the active duty member (sponsor) enrolls family
members in the FMDP, a monthly premium is paid through payroll
deduction. The plan has cost shares, maximums, and limitations
similar to typical civilian dental group plans. The amount covered by
the plan ranges from 100 percent to 50 percent, depending on the type of
service. Family members must receive dental services in the United
States, Canada, Guam, the U.S. Virgin Islands or Puerto
Rico. Detailed FMDP coverage and enrollment information are contained
in the FMDP Benefit Booklet. Sponsors and family members may call
United Concordia's toll-free Customer Service Department at 1-800-866-8499
Monday - Friday from 8 am to 8 pm EST.
Dental information is also
available with the Health Benefits Advisor (HBA), Naval Hospital, 6th
floor.
MCCS (Marine Corps Community Services) also offers family member
dental care through the SMILECARE Dental Center on Mainside and at the Pacific
Plaza.
