If my dentist accepts TDP/United Concordia insurance, does that mean he participates in the TRICARE Dental Program (TDP)?
Not necessarily. A non-participating provider may accept payments from United Concordia, but the provider does not agree to accept United Concordia’s allowance as payment in full. The dentist will bill you for the difference between United Concordia’s allowance and the dentist’s total billed charge. The dentist will bill you for the difference between the insurance carrier’s allowance and the dentist’s total billed charge.
