TRICARE Retiree Dental Program Costs
Monthly Premiums
Your monthly premium depends on where you live and the number of family members enrolled.
Your premium payment is deducted from your retirement pay through an allotment. If you're not collecting retirement pay or if the amount isn't enough, you have two options to pay your monthly premium:
- Autopay through your bank account. Sign up now.
- Recurring credit card payment. Sign up now.
If you don't set up your payment before your first monthly premium is due, you may lose coverage.
