The TRICARE Retiree Dental Program (TRDP)--the only dental benefits program authorized by the government for Uniformed Services retirees--will soon be moving into its fourth year. The TRDP, which is administered by Delta Dental Plan of California in partnership with the U.S. Department of Defense, offers affordable dental benefits to retirees of the uniformed services and their family members throughout the 50 United States, the District of Columbia, Canada and the U.S. territories of Puerto Rico, Guam, the U.S. Virgin Islands, American Samoa and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands.
Over 600,000 people are currently enrolled in the TRDP, which allows subscribers to obtain covered services from any licensed dentist within the service area and to further limit their out-of-pocket costs when using any one of about 25,000 DeltaSelect USA Network dentists.
In October 2000, the TRDP added coverage for cast crowns, bridges, full and partial dentures, orthodontia and dental accidents to its basic package of preventive and restorative services. These changes make the TRDP one of the most complete and competitively priced dental plans available outside of a traditional, employer-sponsored program.
Those interested in more information about the TRDP, including eligibility and enrollment, may visit the TRDP web site or call toll-free 1 (888) 838-8737.
