To direct the Secretary of Defense to establish a pilot program regarding treating pregnancy as a qualifying event for enrollment in TRICARE Select.
This bill directs the Secretary of Defense to create a 5-year pilot program treating pregnancy as a qualifying event for enrolling in TRICARE Select. It would allow military members and their dependents (who are already eligible for TRICARE Select) to change their health plan enrollment during pregnancy without waiting for an annual open season. The program requires the Department of Defense to track enrollment changes by month and reason, including cases specifically tied to pregnancy. Annual reports to Congress will detail participation, ensuring transparency about how the policy affects military families' healthcare access.
