TRICARE FAMILY MEMBER DENTAL PLAN (TFMDP): The TRICARE Family
Member Dental Plan (TFMDP) is a comprehensive and affordable dental plan
available to eligible spouses and children of active duty Uniformed Service
members. The TFMDP has cost shares, benefit maximums and coverage
limitations similar to typical group dental insurance plans. To be
eligible for TFMDP enrollment, sponsors must intend to remain on active duty for
at least 24 months and this commitment must be confirmed by their parent
Uniformed Service. Enrollment and/or changes to enrollment can be
accomplished by filling out a DD Form 2494 or 2494-1 at the sponsor's servicing
personnel office. These forms must be read carefully as they provide
detailed information on enrollment options, limitations and when TFMDP coverage
begins. Upon enrollment, the sponsor must pay the monthly premium
through their Uniformed Services payroll account - the Government pays 60% of
monthly premiums. Before providing care to family members, some
dental providers may ask to see a copy of the sponsor's Leave and Earnings
Statement showing the dental plan payroll deduction. Coverage is
worldwide and portable between assignments. United Concordia
Companies, Inc. (UCCI) administers the TFMDP. Detailed
TFMDP coverage and enrollment information can be found in the TFMDP benefit
booklet. For more information about the program, visit UCCI's website
or contact them at 1-800-866-8499 for information in the TFMDP in the United
States, Canada, Guam, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands, or 1-717-975-5017
(toll call) for information on the TFMDP in all other locations.
