This form will be used by private sector dental professionals that provide dental care to Active Duty Service Members under the Active Duty Dental Program (ADDP). Many of these Service Members are not located near a military dental clinic and receive their dental care in the private sector. The new form is needed to update the dental readiness of Service Members treated in this program so that they can maintain worldwide deployment status and reduces paperwork by combining the dental claim and dental readiness into one form.
