Why are the premiums more for the Enhanced TRDP than for the TRICARE Dental Program?
Many people who have dental health coverage are fortunate to have their past or present employer share some of the premium cost. However, the TRDP is a voluntary dental program that is sustained entirely by enrollee-paid premiums. The federal government does not subsidize premiums for the TRDP, so they may seem higher because they are entirely enrollee self-paid.
