The MHS offers health benefits and services through its TRICARE program to approximately 9.5 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 a National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA). During deliberations on an FY2025 NDAA, Congress has expressed interest in TRICARE coverage policies for reproductive health care services. TRICARE currently covers * reproductive health screening and preventive services, * contraception 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. 8070, 118th Congress), Senate Armed Services Committee (SASC)-reported (S. 4638, 118th Congress), and enacted (P.L. 118-159) versions of the FY2025 NDAA.
