Official Summary

TRICARE OBGYN Treatment and Access without Lags in Care Act or the TOTAL Care Act

This bill requires the Department of Defense (DOD) to implement a five-year pilot program under which female beneficiaries enrolled in TRICARE Prime may receive obstetrical and gynecological care without a referral. (Generally, the TRICARE Prime program requires a beneficiary to obtain a referral for care through a designated primary care manager.)

Under the pilot program, participating female beneficiaries may elect to designate an obstetrical or gynecological care provider under the TRICARE program (i.e., the various programs carried out by DOD, including TRICARE Prime) as an additional designated primary care manager.
