With the new year in full swing, it’s important that you stay on top of your insurance coverage for every aspect of your life, whether it’s health insurance, home owner’s insurance, or auto insurance.  This is usually the point in time when your insurance premiums can change, so it’s definitely a good thing to stay informed about what’s going on and how these changes affect you and your family.  Have you had a chance to check on your own insurance premiums to see if this has happened?

Staying informed about changes to your premiums can help you avoid some big surprises later on down the road.  If you are enrolled in the MetLife TRICARE Dental program (TDP), some changes have been made to your premium and will take effect on February 1, 2016.  These changes to your monthly premium will vary by sponsor’s military status and your type of enrollment (Active Duty, Selected Reserve (SELRES) or Individual Ready Reserve (IRR)).  The chart below shows how these changes match your current sponsor status and enrollment status.

 

Tricare premiums

How do these changes effect your date of coverage?

If initial payment is received by the 20th of the month, coverage will be processed for the first day of the month following the date of receipt.  If the initial premiums payment is received after the 20th of the month, coverage will be processed for the first day of the second month after receipt of the documents.

Initial Payment Requirements

Your sponsor is required to submit their first monthly premium payment upon initial enrollment.  If they enroll over the phone or online, they can pay the first premium payment with a credit card.  If they enroll through the mail, they can pay with a check or money order.  Please include your sponsor’s Social Security number or DoD Benefits Number in the memo area.

How can you enroll?

There are four easy ways to enroll in the MetLife TRICARE Dental insurance program.  I personally love that they offer all of these options to make it easy to enroll no matter what way your prefer.

As a newlywed, TRICARE was a big part of our family in making sure we had the coverage we needed while my husband served in the military.  I am thankful we had this coverage and were able to go for our regular dental visits and also to be able to afford those visits.  My husband had extensive dental work right after we were married and I don’t know how we would have afforded it if it weren’t for our TRICARE benefits.  It’s too important NOT to have!  We all know that affordable coverage is so important, especially when it comes to having to be able to provide it for your family.

So what’s next?  Check all of your monthly premiums now so you know what to expect for the year ahead.  It’s so important to stay informed about your coverage so that you can make sure you have the correct plan you need and know the costs up front.
