Easier Access to OBGYN Care for TRICARE Prime Beneficiaries
This bill introduces a pilot program allowing women covered by TRICARE Prime to directly access obstetric and gynecological care without a prior referral. This aims to simplify access to essential medical services and reduce waiting times. The program will run for five years, after which its impact on costs and TRICARE Prime enrollment will be assessed.
Key points
Women enrolled in TRICARE Prime will no longer need a referral for OBGYN care.
Beneficiaries can designate an OBGYN provider as their primary care manager under TRICARE.
The pilot program will last five years, with a report on its impact on costs and enrollment.
