TRICARE Dental Program Premiums Set for 2010

December 23, 2009: The TRICARE Dental Program’s 1.9 million enrollees will see a slight increase in their monthly premiums, beginning Feb. 1, 2010. The new annual rates are effective for one year through Jan. 31, 2011. TRICARE Dental Program (TDP) premiums are determined by the plan (single or family) and the duty status (active or reserve) of the sponsor. If and when the sponsor’s duty status changes, his or her premiums also change to reflect the new duty status.

The monthly premium for an active duty family member single plan will increase from $12.12 to $12.69 and the monthly family plan premium will increase from $30.29 to $31.72.

The National Guard and Reserve monthly sponsor premium will increase from $12.12 to $12.69. For National Guard and Reserve family members, the monthly single family member plan goes from $30.29 to $31.72 and the family plan premium will increase from $75.73 to $79.29.

The monthly single premium rate for an Individual Ready Reserve (IRR) sponsor plan and the separate IRR single family member plan will increase from $30.29 to $31.72. The monthly IRR family member premium will increase from $75.73 to $79.29.
