Retired Rear Admiral (RADM) David F. Baucom served in the U.S. Navy for over three decades. Previously a White House military aide, David Baucom is a member of the Military Officers Association of America (MOAA).
MOAA is working with the Office of Personnel Management to ensure the successful planning and administration of a new federal employees dental and vision benefits program for U.S. Department of Defense Military Health System (TRICARE) beneficiaries. The new plan will be administered by the Federal Employees Dental and Vision Insurance Program (FEDVIP) starting Jan. 1, 2019, and will replace the current TRICARE Retiree Dental Plan.
The new program has removed waiting periods for dental services, deductibles for some vision plans, and maximum benefits for some dental plans while increasing the number of national dental networks.
All TRICARE retirees, together with their families, are eligible for the dental and vision insurance coverage. Active duty military members and their families qualify only for vision coverage. Eligible beneficiaries will be required to register for enrollment during an open period slated to run from Nov. 12 to Dec. 10, 2018.
