Abstract
This final rule amends TRICARE Retiree Dental Program (TRDP) Basic benefit descriptions by replacing specific American Dental Association (ADA) dental procedure codes and nomenclature with general benefit categories and descriptions. This revision is necessary to keep the regulation current, since dental procedure codes are added, revised, and deleted on a regular basis. This final rule does not change or eliminate any benefits that are currently available under the TRDP program. This final rule also revises several incorrect, obsolete, or historical terms pertaining to the TRICARE program, and removes an inaccurate statement regarding appeals and grievances.
