How to find a TRICARE dentist?

Finding a dentist who participates in the TRICARE Dental Program (TDP) is important for maximizing your dental benefits and minimizing out-of-pocket costs. The primary resource is the United Concordia Companies provider directory, available online at addp-ucci.com. You can search by location, specialty (general dentistry, orthodontics, oral surgery, etc.), and whether the dentist is accepting new patients. You can also call United Concordia's customer service at 1-844-653-4061 for personalized help finding a TDP dentist in your area. Using a TDP network dentist ensures that the provider accepts United Concordia's negotiated fees, files claims on your behalf, and you pay only your applicable cost-share. Non-network dentists may charge higher fees and require you to file your own claims. Active duty service members receive dental care through their branch of service at military dental clinics and do not need to find civilian dentists through the TDP. When selecting a dentist, verify their current participation status, ask about their experience with TRICARE dental patients, and confirm their office procedures for TDP claims submission.
