Question of the Month

Q. I have been enrolled in the Enhanced TRICARE Retiree Dental Program (TRDP) since October 2008 and will be transferring to Stuttgart, Germany in January 2012. Will I be able to use my TRDP benefits in Germany? Also, I understand that in Germany, the dentist will bill me and I must then submit a claim to Delta Dental for reimbursement of my covered treatment. Is this correct?

A. The answer is yes to both your questions. As a current enrollee in the Enhanced TRDP, you will automatically be enrolled in the Enhanced-Overseas TRDP once you have moved overseas. You will be eligible for all the same benefits you are eligible for now as an enrollee in the enhanced program, anywhere in the world.

Visit the Enhanced-Overseas resources page to learn about using your TRDP benefits overseas, including how to locate an overseas dentist, a downloadable overseas claim form and instructions for completing the form.

Be sure to update your address information using the online Consumer Toolkit so that you will be assured of a smooth, uninterrupted transition of your TRDP benefits and enrollment account.
