A BILL To direct the Secretary of Defense to submit to Congress a report evaluating beneficiary access to TRICARE network pharmacies.

AI Summary

This bill directs the Secretary of Defense to submit a report to Congress evaluating beneficiary access to TRICARE network pharmacies under the recent transition from the TPharm4 to the TPharm5 contract. The report must include analyses of pharmacy access in rural areas, TRICARE retail pharmacy network capabilities, the impact on affected beneficiaries (those who previously used a pharmacy that has since left the network), and the effect on long-term care residents. It also requires an analysis of non-network pharmacy use by TRICARE beneficiaries. The report aims to provide Congress with a comprehensive assessment of how the TRICARE pharmacy contract changes have affected beneficiary access and usage.
