Easier Access to OBGYN Care for TRICARE Prime Beneficiaries
A new bill introduces a pilot program to simplify access to obstetrical and gynecological care for women enrolled in TRICARE Prime. Beneficiaries will no longer need a referral for these services, aiming to reduce wait times and improve accessibility. The program will run for five years to assess its impact on costs and TRICARE Prime enrollment.
Key points
No Referral Needed: Women in TRICARE Prime can directly access OBGYN care without a referral.
Choose Your Provider: Beneficiaries can designate an OBGYN provider as an additional primary care manager.
Five-Year Pilot: The changes will be tested for five years to evaluate their effectiveness and impact on the healthcare system.
