Yes, if you want to get the value of both products, i.e. the payment from your primary insurance and the discounts on procedures that are not covered by primary insurance, you need to find a dentist that is covered by both products. If you are only using the discount product for just cosmetic procedures that are not covered by your insurance, you could go to a separate dentist, but depending on the procedures it could have an impact on other treatment planning. So it is best to discuss with your regular dentist. Also, you should also disclose that you have the discount coverage when filing a claim with the insurer.

If I have tricare prime because my husband is retired and Blue cross blue shield through my husband's active employer which will be my primary carrier?
It depends on the dr or pharmacy that accepts your insurance. For instance if a dr accepts blue cross and not tricare then blue cross will be your primary and vica versa. If a dr accepts both they will usually check to see which one covers more of the services you received and bill that insurance company first. I wouldn't worry too much about it. Just list that you have both and the dr's office will do the rest.Addendum:Typically, the insurance of the older spouse, oddly enough, is the primary. Contact your carriers and double check.
