Improving Access to Prenatal Care for Military Families Act

The bill would direct the Secretary of Defense to establish a five-year pilot program treating pregnancy as a qualifying event for enrollment in TRICARE Select, allowing eligible beneficiaries to enroll or change their health coverage due to pregnancy outside of regular enrollment periods. It affects military service members, their dependents, and other TRICARE-eligible individuals who become pregnant. The Secretary must provide an initial briefing to Congress within one year of enactment and submit annual reports for four years detailing enrollment changes, including disaggregated data by timing and reason for enrollment, such as pregnancy status or changes in active duty status.
