Important: All Department of Defense beneficiaries must be enrolled in the Defense Enrollment Eligibility Reporting System (DEERS) to use the TRICARE Pharmacy Benefit. For TMOP Users: Please note that the beneficiaries residing outside U.S. Postal Service delivery areas may use only APO/FPO addresses as the mailing address for the TMOP Program.

TRICARE’s Dental Program TRICARE currently offers two dental programs to meet the needs of its beneficiary population: TRICARE Dental Program. The TRICARE Dental Program (TDP) is offered by the Department of Defense (DoD) through the TRICARE Management Activity (TMA). United Concordia Companies, Inc., administers and underwrites the TDP for the TMA. The TDP is a high-quality, cost-effective dental care benefit for eligible family members of all active duty uniformed services personnel; as well members of the Selected Reserve and Individual Ready Reserve (IRR) and their eligible family members.
