Beginning with the 2018 Federal Benefits Open Season running Nov. 12 to Dec. 10, beneficiaries enrolled in a TRICARE health plan will be eligible to enroll in the Federal Employees Dental and Vision Insurance Program, or FEDVIP. Coverage starts Jan. 1, 2018.

Beneficiaries enrolled in or eligible for the TRICARE Retiree Dental Program (TRDP) will also be able to enroll in one of the FEDVIP dental options for 2019 coverage.

TRDP ends Dec. 31. People can begin reviewing the 2018 FEDVIP program options now to better understand the coverage and cost options.
