Latest Action · June 20, 2023
Referred to the House Committee on Armed Services.
This bill removes cost barriers to dental care for members of the Selected Reserve of the Ready Reserve, which are part-time military personnel who can be called to active duty. Currently, these reservists can enroll in TRICARE's dental program but must pay premiums and copayments for services. The legislation creates a new no-premium dental plan specifically for Selected Reserve members, eliminating both premium charges and copayment costs for dental care. This means reservists would receive dental benefits at no out-of-pocket expense, making dental coverage more accessible to this segment of the military. The bill was introduced in June 2023 and referred to the House Committee on Armed Services for consideration.
