Veterans Dental Insurance Program

A pilot plan designed for Veterans with no dental coverage, or those eligible for VA dental care who would like to purchase additional coverage.
Participation does not affect entitlement to VA dental services and treatment. *Free dental services for Veterans with dental problems connected to a medical condition that's officially certified as "service connected" will continue.
No eligibility limitations based on service-connected disability rating or enrollment priority assignment.
Spouses and dependents who are reimbursed for most medical expenses under VA's CHAMPVA program are also eligible. *Generally CHAMPA participates are spouses, survivors or dependent children of Veterans officially rated as "permanently and totally" disabled by a service-connected condition.
People interested in participating may complete an application online through either Delta Dental, www.deltadentalvadip.org, or MetLife, www.metlife.com/vadip
Dental services under the program vary by plan and include diagnostic, preventive, surgical, emergency and endodontic/restorative treatment.
Enrollment in the VADIP is voluntary. Participants are responsible for all premiums, which range from $8.65 to $52.90 per month for individual plans. Copayments and other charges may apply.
