MIDWIVES for Service Members Act of 2025
HR 3202, the MIDWIVES for Service Members Act of 2025, creates a 5-year pilot program to provide certified midwife services to military service members and their families through the TRICARE health plan. The program requires the Secretary of Defense to begin implementation within one year of enactment, with detailed annual reports on costs, patient outcomes, satisfaction, and access metrics. It mandates that midwives meet international standards and state licensing requirements, focusing on maternal and infant health outcomes like preterm births and C-section rates. The pilot’s success would determine if midwife services become a permanent TRICARE benefit.
