Expanding Knowledge on Military Reproductive Healthcare Act
This bill requires the Department of Defense to provide clear, annual information to TRICARE beneficiaries (military members, families, and retirees) about reproductive healthcare access under the military health system. It mandates details on covered care (including abortion), when care is available at military facilities, how to request leave/travel for out-of-state care, and how to find non-DoD providers. Military healthcare providers must also receive annual training on their obligation to offer covered reproductive care (abortion, contraception, fertility) regardless of state laws, and their legal protections. The information must be shared in person, in writing (including electronically), and posted in accessible areas at military medical facilities. This focuses on improving transparency and provider knowledge, not expanding coverage.
