Tri-Care Medical Insurance
All active duty and Reserve Marines are eligible for Tri-Care insurance. Reservists are not automatically covered. TRICARE services and procedures differ based on the region in which you are stationed. Correct enrollment in DEERS (Defense Enrollment Eligibility Reporting System) is essential for all family members.
The sponsor is responsible for enrollment of eligible beneficiaries. Failure to enroll in the DEERS system will result in a family member being denied use of support services, including medical facilities. Enrollment is automatic when a family member applies for a new or replacement ID card.
When children reach 10 years of age, they require their own ID card. Tricare Prime automatically covers newborn children for 120 days. During this initial coverage period, the child must be enrolled through the installation ID Card Center or the child will no longer be covered. In addition, if children are to be born while your service member is deployed, you must have either a general or special power of attorney to enroll the child in DEERS.For more information, please visit the Tri-Care website.
All new enrollees must submit a payment equal to one month’s premium with the enrollment form The Selfridge TRICARE Service Center is located in:

Dental Insurance

The TRICARE Dental Program (TDP) is a voluntary dental plan available to family members of all active duty and Active Guard/Reserve personal. This program offers comprehensive benefits with low premiums. It is available worldwide. There are two levels of Enrollment. Single coverage is for sponsors with only one eligible family member and Family coverage is for sponsors with more than one eligible family member.

Make sure to be prepared and should you need any dental work, do so at least three months prior to your deployment. An explanation of dental classes is below.
Class 1 Marines are free of cavities and do not need any dental work or cleaning
Class 2 Marines need treatment that is not urgent, i.e. routine cleaning
Class 3 Marines need treatment ASAP. You are placed in a non- deployable status
Class 4 Marines need their Annual Exam completed
