FY2024 NDAA: Reproductive Health

Care Provisions



Updated January 12, 2024


Background

The Department of Defense (DOD) administers a health entitlement (under Chapter 55 of Title 10, U.S.
Code) through the Military Health System (MHS). The MHS offers health benefits and services through
its TRICARE program to approximately 9.6 million beneficiaries composed of servicemembers, military
retirees, and dependents. Congress often specifies certain TRICARE coverage parameters (e.g., how
health care services may be delivered, and cost-sharing requirements) through the National Defense
Authorization Act (NDAA).
During ongoing deliberations on a FY2024 NDAA, Congress has expressed interest in TRICARE
coverage policies for reproductive health care services. TRICARE currently covers
      reproductive health screening and preventive services,
      contraceptive services (i.e., birth control), and
      infertility services (e.g., diagnostic services for assisted reproductive technologies or
       ART).
Table 1 lists proposed and enacted reproductive health care-related provisions included in the House-
passed (H.R. 2670) Senate-passed (S. 2226), and enacted (P.L. 118-31) versions of the FY2024 NDAA.
