Improving Access to Prenatal Care for Military Families Act

The bill mandates the Secretary of Defense to initiate a five-year pilot program within 180 days of its enactment. This program will designate pregnancy as a qualifying event for eligible beneficiaries to enroll in TRICARE Select . The primary objective is to enhance access to prenatal care for military families by allowing them to adjust their healthcare coverage due to pregnancy. To ensure oversight, the Secretary must provide an initial briefing to appropriate congressional committees within one year of the bill's enactment. Subsequently, annual reports are required for the duration of the five-year pilot program. These reports will detail the number of covered enrollment changes, disaggregated by month and the specific reason for the change, including those made due to pregnancy.
