Disenrollment

You can disenroll from the TDP by completing a new TRICARE Dental Program Enrollment/Change Authorization Form. Your coverage ends depending on when your form is received. You may be able to disenroll on the Beneficiary Web Enrollment website.

Minimum Enrollment Period

You must enroll for a minimum of 12 months.

• Your sponsor must have 12 months remaining on their service commitment.
• You must complete the first 12 month enrollment unless you have a valid reason to end coverage.
• After the 12 month period, you can continue on a month-to-month basis.

View the TRICARE Dental Program Handbook  for exceptions to the minimum enrollment period.

Plan Options

The TDP has two options:

• Single (one person)
• Family (two or more people)
• If you choose a family plan, all eligible family members must enroll except:
  • Children under age one. If you have a family plan, your children will be automatically on the family plan on the first day of the month after they reach age one.
  • Family members living in two or more locations.
  • Family members who need special medical attention in a hospital or treatment center (you must have documentation).

National Guard or Reserve enrollments work a little differently. Sponsors enroll separately because their military status may change.

• The sponsor and family members enroll separately and pay two different premium payments.
• The sponsor can only select a single plan.
• Family members can enroll under a single or family plan.
• The sponsor doesn't have to have a plan for families to enroll.

Do you need an annual dental exam for dental readiness? TDP network dentists can complete the DOD Dental Examination form (DD 2813)  for you at no cost. Learn more.
