To direct the Secretary of Defense to submit to Congress a report evaluating beneficiary access to TRICARE network pharmacies.

HR 5150 requires the Secretary of Defense to submit a report to Congress within 180 days of enactment, evaluating how TRICARE beneficiaries access network pharmacies under the new TPharm5 contract compared to the previous TPharm4 contract. The report must analyze rural access (including drive times and medication compliance), pharmacy service capabilities (like long-term care and compounding), beneficiary usage patterns, and non-network pharmacy use - specifically for rural beneficiaries and those affected by pharmacies leaving the network. It directly affects TRICARE beneficiaries, particularly those in rural areas or who used pharmacies that departed the network after October 24, 2022. The bill mandates concrete data collection on access, service availability, and cost impacts without changing TRICARE policy.
