Military Moms Act: TRICARE and Maternal Health Support
This act aims to improve healthcare access for pregnant women and those experiencing pregnancy loss in military families. It designates pregnancy and loss of pregnancy as qualifying life events for TRICARE enrollment changes and mandates a study on maternal healthcare access within the military health system. This should make it easier for service members and their families to access necessary benefits.
Key points
Pregnancy and loss of pregnancy are now qualifying life events for TRICARE enrollment changes, simplifying access to care.
A study on maternal healthcare access within military medical facilities and the TRICARE network is required to identify gaps and challenges.
The Military OneSource program will feature a comprehensive guide with resources for pregnant beneficiaries, including health, mental health, and financial support.
The act explicitly excludes abortion as a qualifying life event for TRICARE changes and from the provided resource guides.
