TRICARE Transition Transparency Act of 2025
TRICARE: Better Notice for Health Plan Changes
This bill was recently introduced and is currently being reviewed by the House Committee on Armed Services. It is in the early stages of the legislative process and is considered active. There are no upcoming votes or hearings scheduled at this time.
Legislative Progress
This bill has support from both parties and addresses a common problem for military families, but it still needs to pass through committees and both chambers of Congress.
Key Points
- This bill requires the Department of Defense to send electronic alerts to military members and their families before their health insurance rules change. Many people currently lose coverage because they do not know they need to sign up for a new plan when they reach a certain age.
- The government would have to send three separate warnings to make sure people do not miss the deadline. These notices would arrive one year, six months, and one month before the person is required to make a change to keep their insurance.
- The military would also start a public campaign to spread the word. This includes using social media and military family groups to explain how to stay covered and what steps families need to take to keep their health benefits active.
- The Defense Department would have to report to Congress every year to show how well these alerts are working. This helps ensure the military is doing a good job of keeping families informed and suggests ways to improve the system if people are still losing coverage.
