Military Retirees, Take Action: TRDP Is Ending, Sign Up For FEDVIP

24 Oct

The TRICARE Retiree Dental Program (TRDP) ends on December 31, 2018. But don’t worry: Signing up for a new FEDVIP plan means you’ll get great dental coverage without hassles or waiting periods – and you can continue your relationship with Dr. Taís Trevelin (Lowry) and our team here at Invictus Modern Dentistry in San Diego.

The Federal Employees Dental and Vision Insurance Program (FEDVIP) replaces TRDP on January 1, 2019, offering comparable dental benefits and a choice of carriers, including Delta Dental. But you must sign up between November 12 and December 10 of this year for uninterrupted coverage. Except for orthodontic coverage with most plans, there’s no waiting period for full coverage.

You Must Take Action To Ensure Coverage

Coverage will not be continuous unless you take action to apply for FEDVIP coverage between November 12 and December 10. The TRDP program’s contract with the Department of Defense will end at the end of this year, according to provisions of the 2017 National Defense Authorization Act. Selecting the new FEDVIP plan of your choice is required to continue benefits.

We know how important your dental health is to you, and we want the transition to be as easy as possible for everyone. Military retirees and dental offices like ours who proudly treat you must take action to ensure a smooth transition, and you can be sure we’re doing our part.

To prevent the possibility of a gap in your coverage, visit tricare.benefeds.com and sign up for the new FEDVIP plan between November 12 and December 10.

As always, we’re here to help you in any way we can. Just remember that this way of providing service is new to us as well. Still, please contact us with any questions or concerns – and take the action necessary to ensure continuous coverage. We want to take care of your dental and oral health care need for many years to come.
