Due to limited facilities and personnel, family members are
enrolled in the TRICARE Family Member Dental Plan. Soldiers should
contact their Personnel Action Center (PAC) to enroll.
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 confiremd 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. Please read these forms 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 web site or contact them at
1-800-866-8499 for information on 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.
In overseas locations,
enrolled sponsors and family members must contact their servicing overseas
dental treatment facility and/or Overseas Lead Agent before seeking treatment
from host-nation dental providers, except for emergency care.
