These benefits include expanded eligibility for health care benefits offered through the TRICARE program. Most drilling reservists are eligible to enroll in a premium-based health plan called TRICARE Reserve Select (TRS). TRS is structured similarly to TRICARE Select (i.e., preferred provider option) and is available worldwide. The beneficiary cost features of TRS include monthly premiums, annual deductibles, fixed co-pays when receiving care from a network provider, and paying a percentage of the allowable charges when receiving care from a TRICARE-authorized, non-network provider. For calendar year 2024, the TRS premiums are $51.95 per month for servicemember-only enrollment and $256.87 per month for servicemember and family member enrollment. In addition to TRS, drilling reservists and their dependent family members may be eligible for dental insurance through the TRICARE Dental Program (TDP) and/or vision insurance through the Federal Employees Dental and Vision Insurance Program (FEDVIP). Reservists (i.e., members of the Reserves Components, including the National Guard) on federal active duty orders for more than 30 consecutive days receive identical health benefits as active duty servicemembers. These benefits include a premium-free health plan (i.e., TRICARE Prime) and premium- free dental and vision care. Once activated reservists complete an active duty period, they may be eligible for transitional health benefits as they return to a reserve status. Table 1 lists the proposed and enacted reserve component-specific health care provisions included in the House-passed (H.R. 2670), Senate-passed (S. 2226), and enacted (P.L. 118-31) versions of the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for FY2024.
