Has anyone heard of the new Retiree Dental/Vision program? Where can I find information about it?

Before leaving my duty station, my Tricare office in the clinic informed me that there is a new dental and vision insurance program being rolled out for retirees with the intent to replace the FEDVIP program. If I remember correctly, the enrollment period is coming up at the end of this year, but I cannot remember the name of this new program to bookmark for myself. Has anyone heard of this that would be able to point me in the right direction?

The new program IS FEDVIP.
This is the link:

Enrollment is 12 NOV - 10 DEC this year and the new program starts 1 JAN 19. It seems to amazingly be a better deal. More choices for dental and adding vision coverage that retirees didn’t have before.
On the site you can set up a reminder.
