I am a military spouse on tricare prime and I was wondering if they would pay for me to get lumaneers or maybe just help out a little with the bill?
Thanks,
Lauren

No..Lumaneers are considered a selctive, comsmetic procedure. The military health care (United Concordia is the dental plan) does not cover veneers in any format. The only exception may be as part of a reconstructive effort from injuries sustained in combat. You need to take a look at the dental plan. It is VERY different from the health care coverage you can get. With the exception of your bi-yearly cleanings and a few other things, you will be responsible for upwards of 40% of the cost (depending on rank and procedure), with yearly caps. We ended up paying over $4000 towards our daughters braces because the most the military would pay is $1500.

That would be United Concordia not tri-care. They cover dental but you have to pay 9 dollars per month and the only thing that is free is the initial exam everything else, even cosmetic dental stuff like whitening, and fillings you have to pay out of pocket but at a discount price and you can pay in payments. If you want any more info here is the website. Remember its called united Concordia. Ask you husband to get some info for registration.

im not sure what that is, but my best guess would be to just call tricare and ask or even check the website below.
if i am thinking right its cosmetic. and it all depends. probably not tho.
i have tricare too....and im a spouse.
hope that helps a lil' better

that is a Dental issue, not a Prime issue, and no, they are NOT covered by Dental insurance unless as a medically necessary part of treatment( severe disfigurement due to accident or the like)

Military dental insurance is through United Concordia and they don't cover most cosmetic procedures. Veneers aren't covered at all.

you can have one. but first you have to see mantel help and there have to say if you really need it or not. and dont forget you only can have one like this no more. and that is you really need it. PS tricare is paying for my Tummytuck, I need it really bad after 3 kids. good luck

I seriously doubt it, unless it was medically necessary. That would be considered comestic enhancement and most insurance of any kind will not pay for that.
