National Guard and Reserve Dental Readiness

Members of the National Guard and Reserve are required to have a dental exam once per year. In addition, the Department of Defense requires you to turn in a Department of Defense Active Duty/Reserve Forces Dental Examination form (DD Form 2813) once each year to your service branch. DD Form 2813 is meant to help you document your dental health. United Concordia network dentists will fill out the form at no cost to you.
Each year make sure you:

• Contact your service branch representatives to find out service-specific requirements for DD Form 2813.
• Schedule your dental exam.
• Download DD Form 2813 at www.tricare.mil/forms, and bring the form to your dentist to fill out.
• Get at least one dental exam.
• Give the result to your service branch.
