Plain-English Summary
The bill would require the Department of Defense to post information on its website to help TRICARE patients (military members, retirees, and their families) book appointments at military hospitals and clinics more easily. This would make it simpler for people using military health care to find available appointment times and schedule care without having to call or visit in person. The change affects millions of military-connected individuals who rely on TRICARE for their health coverage.
