Dental Care for Our Troops Act
HR 4220, the Dental Care for Our Troops Act, creates a dedicated dental benefits plan for members of the Selected Reserve of the Ready Reserve within the military. The bill amends TRICARE law to establish a "no premium" dental plan, meaning Selected Reserve members enrolled in this plan pay no monthly fees or copayments for covered dental care. Key provisions include removing all cost-sharing requirements for dental services under this specific plan and adding a new subsection ensuring members receive care without charges. This directly affects military reservists who serve in the Selected Reserve, providing them with free dental coverage under TRICARE.
