Healthcare for Our Troops Act
The Healthcare for Our Troops Act eliminates premiums for individual TRICARE Reserve Select healthcare coverage for members of the Selected Reserve (part-time military members) while establishing a no-premium dental plan for these service members. It also adjusts eligibility for retirees under 60 who receive retired pay for non-regular service. The bill requires new forms for healthcare providers to track medical and dental readiness of Selected Reserve members, and mandates a study on replacing mass medical events with the new coverage model. These changes apply to TRICARE healthcare beginning one year after the bill's enactment.
