Easier TRICARE Select Enrollment: Pregnancy as a Qualifying Life Event.
This bill establishes a five-year pilot program allowing eligible military beneficiaries to enroll in the TRICARE Select health plan outside the standard open enrollment period. Pregnancy will now be treated as a "qualifying event," enabling immediate enrollment or coverage change. This ensures timely access to necessary healthcare services during pregnancy for military families.
