4. Tricare chooses Metlife not United Concordia for dental coverage
The U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO) upheld a decision to award a $3.1 billion Tricare dental
plan contract to a different insurer, its first change in 15 years. Tricare Management Activity agency at the
U.S. Department of Defense decided to give New York, N.Y.-based Metropolitan Life Insurance Co. a $3.1
billion dental plan contract rather than United Concordia Cos., based in Harrisburg, Pa. Tricare managers de-
cided that the MetLife provider network suited the military insurance program better than United Concordia’s
network, the Pittsburgh Post Gazette reported. United Concordia, a division of Pittsburgh, Pa.-based High-
mark, was the Tricare dental program provider for 15 years.
Effective May 1, 2012, MetLife will become the dental carrier for the TDP. MetLife will begin providing den-
tal coverage to over 2 million family members of uniformed service active duty personnel, members of the
Selected Reserve and Individual Ready Reserve, their eligible family members, and Survivors.
Beneficiaries will have access to MetLife's network with over 161,000 dentist access points, and this number
continues to grow. Additional information about the contract is available at www.tricare.mil/TDPcontract and
benefit updates are available at www.tricare.mil.
PLEASE NOTE that the change to MetLife is for the TDP program only. The Active Duty Dental Program
will still be administered by United Concordia®. Changes to the TDP will include enhanced dental coverage
at a lower premium share than before. MetLife will distribute program information, provider network details
beginning in first quarter 2012. Highlights to the benefits and enhancements are listed below:
· Coverage of posterior resin (tooth colored/white) fillings
· Increase in the annual maximum to $1,300 per enrollee (formerly this was $1,200
· Increase in the lifetime orthodontic maximum to $1,750
· $1,200 per year for services related to dental treatment due to an accident as defined in the TDP handbook
· No cost shares for scaling and root planing (deep cleaning) for diabetics
· Coverage of an additional (3rd) cleaning for women during pregnancy
· Expansion of the survivor benefits to surviving spouse and child(ren)
If you would like to check if your dentist is already part of the MetLife network,
please click Find a Dentist on the right and search for a DPPO provider. If the
dentist is not a member, dentists can easily request an application on our web-
site for dentists, http://www.metdental.com/.
Effective May 1, 2012
MetLife will become the dental carrier for the Tricare Dental Plan.
MetLife and United Concordia, the current TDP contractor, are working together to complete the contract
transition activities for MetLife’s start on May 1, 2012. TDP claims with a date of service prior to May 1,
2012 will continue to be processed by United Concordia until April 30, 2013. All TDP claims with a date of
service on or after May 1, 2012 will be submitted to MetLife. Please make note of these important dates to
ensure timely processing of your TDP claims. The new TDP contract that MetLife will be administering is
not to be confused with the separate TRICARE dental contract that covers eligible uniformed service mem-
bers. The Active Duty Dental Program (ADDP) will continue to be administered by United Concordia. Met-
Life is looking forward to the opportunity to provide quality dental coverage and oral health educational pro-
grams to the more than 2 million TDP beneficiaries, which include the family members of all active duty uni-

7. Call for Exemplary Military Children
Between multiple deployments, relocations and time spent apart, Military Families must learn
to make every second together count. While Soldiers are protecting our country, their Families
are doing their part on the homefront to keep the tight-knit community from unraveling.
To honor their sacrifices and to celebrate April as Month of the Military Child, The Mountain-
eer staff is looking for four Fort Drum youths who show exceptional character at home, in
school and in the community. Submissions will be accepted through March 9 and should be
limited to 200 words.
Children will be selected based on the following criteria:
* Scholastic activities and involvement
* Family contribution
(helping out at home, chores, etc.)
* Community activities and involvement
* Leadership skills
* Volunteer service
* Academic standing / achievement
* Other activities, such as clubs, internships and summer work
Include any awards and honors the child has achieved.
A nominee must be a student within grades 7-12 and reside with a military service member as-
signed at Fort Drum. Selections will be made before April 1. The Mountaineer will highlight
each child with a feature article and photos on the "Mountaineer People" page (B3). Families
with more than one child may submit one entry per child or a combined entry. To submit a
child for consideration, email the essay in a Word document to drum.pao@conus.army.mil
with the words
"Military Child Nominee" in the subject line. Include the child's name and age, and the mili-
tary parent's name, unit and telephone number.
If a child is selected to be featured, The Mountaineer staff reserves the right to reprint any part
of the essay in the article.
Submissions received after the deadline will not be considered.
