Major dental procedures such as root canals, crowns and bridgework are not covered by this plan. This program is only available to Selected Reservists of the Uniformed Services. Reservists pay a nominal monthly premium through payroll deductions.
Civilian dentists provide the dental care.
A list of preferred suppliers, which offer their services at attractive rates, is available. Either the dentist or the Guardsman who receives the dental care can file claims. A civilian contractor manages TSRP for the Department of Defense. Guardsmen must enroll for a minimum of one year and have at least 12 months of Selected Reserve duty remaining to be able to participate in the program. Modest annual adjustments to the premium are anticipated.
