New Dental Readiness Programs

Two new dental readiness programs have been introduced for our Active Duty (AD) and Selected Reserve (SELRES) members. The first program is for AD and eligible SELRES (on orders for 31 days or more) members - it's called the Active Duty Dental Program (ADDP). The ADDP is designed to provide comprehensive dental care for those remote to Coast Guard and DoD Dental Treatment Facilities (DTFs). Additionally, it will provide specialty care to members referred out from Coast Guard and DoD DTFs. The ADDP permits dental care to be provided only by civilian dentists who are in the United Concordia Companies, Inc. (UCCI) network. The second program is for SELRES members on orders for 30 days or less - it's called the Reserve Health Readiness Program (RHRP) Dental Screening Program. The following document provides the details on both of these new dental readiness programs: /Dental%20Readiness.pdf
