A bill to include pregnancy and loss of pregnancy as qualifying life events under the TRICARE program and to require a study on maternal health in the military health system, and for other purposes.

Bill 118 s 4717, also known as the "TRICARE Pregnancy and Maternal Health Study Act," aims to expand the TRICARE program to include pregnancy and loss of pregnancy as qualifying life events. This means that military service members and their families will have access to coverage for pregnancy-related healthcare services under TRICARE.

Additionally, the bill requires a study to be conducted on maternal health within the military health system. This study will examine the current state of maternal health care for service members and their families, identify any gaps or challenges in the system, and make recommendations for improvements.

The overall goal of this legislation is to ensure that pregnant service members and their families receive the necessary healthcare services and support through TRICARE, and to improve maternal health outcomes within the military health system. This bill is non-partisan and focuses on providing essential healthcare services to military service members and their families, without any political bias.
