Learn More About the Benefits of Tricare
Are you an active-duty service member, a veteran or a family member of someone who is/was serving? If so, you might be eligible for Tricare or VADIP benefits. These programs are designed to support service members by providing affordable dental insurance. If you have such benefits, our Worcester team is eager to help you take advantage of them! Continue reading below to learn how we can assist you as you seek to maximize your benefits.
Tricare Coverage Availability & Fees
Tricare coverage is a program for active-duty service members and their families, whereas VADIP is geared toward veterans and their close family members. Both programs partner with dental insurance companies. (VADIP works with Delta Dental and MetLife, whereas Tricare is through United Healthcare.)
If you are eligible for benefits, you can review available plans and get an idea of the sort of coverage you might be able to enjoy. Every plan is unique, so it is important to pay attention to whether a specific policy will meet your needs. For example, some people already have excellent oral health and need only basic coverage, while others may need a premium plan that covers more extensive care.
Often, plans provide robust coverage for preventive services, such as cleanings, exams, and X-rays. Coverage for restorative care, such as fillings, crowns and dentures, might be more limited. However, you may still enjoy up to 50 – 80% coverage for such services.
