Incoming Changes to TRICARE Dental

[vc_row][vc_column width=”2/3″ el_class=”section section1″][vc_column_text]Military personnel who are retired and using TRICARE Retiree Dental Program (TRDP) should be expecting a few changes.

According to the federal officials, TRDP will end on December 31.
These individuals should not worry, as any person that was using TRDP this year should be eligible for the plan and be permitted to select a dental plan from the given ten dental carriers in the Federal Employees Dental and Vision Insurance Program (FEDVP).

During the 2018 federal benefits open season, individuals will be able to enroll in FEDVIP that will be running from November 12 to December 10. Coverage is expected to start on January 1 according to federal officials.

In the past, the Department of Defense beneficiaries did not access FEDVIP, but it will be there for individuals that would have been eligible for TRDP. A bonus will allow them to enroll in FEDVIP vision coverage along with the majority of family members that are active in service.

Currently, over 3.3 million people are covered by FEDVIP. These individuals can benefit from dental plans that will be offered by ten different carriers. Federal officials highlighted that to be enrolled in FEDVIP vision individuals should be enrolled in a TRICARE health plan.

Each person will decide whether one of the four vision plans will meet their family needs. Young Adults that are enrolled to TRICARE will be eligible to enroll in FEDVIP vision.
Outside of open season, individuals will only enroll in FEDVIP if experiencing a Qualifying Life Event will allow them to do this. For the entire calendar year, any election in a FEDVIP plan will remain in effect.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3″][vc_single_image image=”25543″ img_size=”292×285″ style=”vc_box_shadow”][/vc_column][/vc_row]
