Take Command: Changes coming to the TRICARE Retiree Dental Program
Do you have
TRICARE Retiree Dental Program (TRDP) coverage now? If so, then you need to know that the TRDP will end on Dec. 31, 2018. Not to worry – Anyone who was in TRDP this year or would have been eligible for the plan will be able to choose a dental plan from among 10 dental carriers in the
Federal Employees Dental and Vision Insurance Program(FEDVIP). You can begin reviewing program options now at
www.opm.gov/fedvip. You’ll be able to enroll in FEDVIP during the 2018 Federal Benefits Open Season, which runs from Nov. 12 to Dec. 10, 2018; coverage will begin on Jan. 1, 2019.
Previously, FEDVIP wasn’t available to Department of Defense beneficiaries, but it will now be available to those who would have been eligible for TRDP. As an added bonus, they will also be able to enroll in FEDVIP vision coverage, along with most active duty family members.
More than 3.3 million people are currently covered by FEDVIP. You can choose from dental plans offered by 10 different carriers. To enroll in FEDVIP Vision, you must be enrolled in a
TRICARE health plan. You can decide if one of four vision plans meets your family’s needs.
You may only enroll in a FEDVIP plan outside of open season if you experience a
Qualifying Life Event that allows you to do so. Any election in a FEDVIP plan remains in effect for the entire calendar year.
