Summary of Bill HR 10307
Bill 118 hr 10307, also known as the "TRICARE Obstetrics and Gynecology Access Pilot Program Act," aims to provide TRICARE Prime beneficiaries with easier access to obstetrical and gynecological care. Currently, TRICARE Prime beneficiaries are required to obtain a referral from their primary care provider before seeking care from an obstetrician or gynecologist. This bill seeks to eliminate this requirement and allow beneficiaries to directly access these services without a referral.
The bill directs the Secretary of Defense to carry out a pilot program to test this new approach to accessing care. The pilot program will evaluate the impact of allowing TRICARE Prime beneficiaries to access obstetrical and gynecological care without a referral on patient outcomes, healthcare costs, and overall satisfaction with the TRICARE program.
In addition to establishing the pilot program, the bill also includes provisions for reporting requirements and oversight to ensure that the program is implemented effectively and that the needs of TRICARE Prime beneficiaries are being met. Overall, the TRICARE Obstetrics and Gynecology Access Pilot Program Act aims to improve access to care for TRICARE Prime beneficiaries and streamline the process for obtaining obstetrical and gynecological services.
