Summary

Highlight any text to annotate
The TRICARE Transition Transparency Act of 2025 requires the Department of Defense to notify military health insurance beneficiaries when they must make changes to their TRICARE coverage enrollment. The bill mandates that the Secretary of Defense send electronic notices at three key points in time—one year, 180 days, and 30 days before a beneficiary experiences a coverage transition, such as aging out of a plan. In addition to individual notifications, the bill directs the department to conduct a broader public awareness campaign through the TRICARE website, social media, and military family readiness groups. The Secretary must also submit annual reports to Congress detailing how well the notification and outreach efforts are working and recommending improvements. The legislation affects all current TRICARE beneficiaries—including active-duty service members, retirees, and their family members—who may need to switch plans due to age or other eligibility changes.
