Bill > HR3750

This bill establishes a five-year pilot program through the TRICARE program (the military's health care system) that will provide continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) technology to certain active-duty service members with specific health conditions or risk factors, including those with prediabetes, type 2 diabetes without insulin use, a history of gestational diabetes, or who are overweight or obese. The program aims to improve service members' health and military force readiness by tracking metabolic health in real-time. Participation will be mandatory for service members categorized as Partially Medically Ready or Not Medically Ready. The Department of Defense will provide medical professionals with training on the program and create educational resources. Importantly, the health data collected cannot be used for medical discharges, and third-party technology providers are prohibited from retaining or misusing participants' health information. The program requires two reports from the Comptroller General - one at three years and a final report at five years - which will assess the program's effectiveness, compare medical readiness rates, and recommend potential program extensions. The Secretary of Defense must also submit a comprehensive report about the pilot program's impact on force readiness and potential improvements.
