                   Effective May 1, 2012

                           T r i c a r e   D e n t a l P l a n .
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 decided that the MetLife provider network suited the military insur-
ance program better than United Concordia’s network, the Pittsburgh Post Gazette
reported.

United Concordia, a division of Pittsburgh, Pa.-based Highmark, was the Tricare den-
tal program provider for 15 years.

Effective May 1, 2012, MetLife will become the dental carrier for the TDP. MetLife will
begin providing dental coverage to over 2 million family members of uniformed ser-
vice active duty personnel, members of the Selected Reserve and Individual Ready Re-
serve, 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. You can reach the customer ser-
vice center by calling:

CONUS: 1-855-MET-TDP1 (1-855-638-8371)

MetLife TDD/TYY Service for the Hearing Impaired: 1-855-MET-TDP3

(1-855-638-8373)

Phones will go live on the 21st of March 2012
P a g e 5
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 website for dentists, http://
www.metdental.com/.

MetLife and United Concordia, the current TDP contractor, are working together to com-
plete 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 un-
til April 30, 2013. All TDP claims with a date of service on or after May 1, 2012 will be sub-
mitted 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 members. The Ac-
tive Duty Dental Program (ADDP) will continue to be administered by United Concordia.
MetLife is looking forward to the opportunity to provide quality dental coverage and oral
health educational programs to the more than 2 million TDP benefici-
aries, which include the family members of all active duty uniformed
services personnel, members of the National Guard and Reserves, and
their eligible family members.

  • 4. P a g e 4 Effective May 1, 2012 M e t L i f e w i l l b e c o m e t h e d e n t a l c a r r i e r f o r t h e T r i c a r e D e n t a l P l a n . 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 decided that the MetLife provider network suited the military insur- ance program better than United Concordia’s network, the Pittsburgh Post Gazette reported. United Concordia, a division of Pittsburgh, Pa.-based Highmark, was the Tricare den- tal program provider for 15 years. Effective May 1, 2012, MetLife will become the dental carrier for the TDP. MetLife will begin providing dental coverage to over 2 million family members of uniformed ser- vice active duty personnel, members of the Selected Reserve and Individual Ready Re- serve, 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. You can reach the customer ser- vice center by calling: CONUS: 1-855-MET-TDP1 (1-855-638-8371) MetLife TDD/TYY Service for the Hearing Impaired: 1-855-MET-TDP3 (1-855-638-8373) Phones will go live on the 21st of March 2012
  • 5. P a g e 5 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 website for dentists, http:// www.metdental.com/. MetLife and United Concordia, the current TDP contractor, are working together to com- plete 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 un- til April 30, 2013. All TDP claims with a date of service on or after May 1, 2012 will be sub- mitted 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 members. The Ac- tive Duty Dental Program (ADDP) will continue to be administered by United Concordia. MetLife is looking forward to the opportunity to provide quality dental coverage and oral health educational programs to the more than 2 million TDP benefici- aries, which include the family members of all active duty uniformed services personnel, members of the National Guard and Reserves, and their eligible family members.
