To amend title 10, United States Code, to allow certain beneficiaries covered by TRICARE for Life to be reimbursed for travel expenses for certain medical care.
Summary
H.R. 3327 is a bill designed to help certain military retirees and their families cover the costs of traveling for specialized medical treatment. Specifically, it would allow TRICARE for Life beneficiaries who are 65 or older to be reimbursed for travel expenses when returning to a military hospital for follow-up care.
To qualify for this reimbursement, the patient must live more than 100 miles from the military facility and be unable to find adequate treatment closer to home. The bill aims to reduce the financial burden on older veterans and their dependents who must travel long distances to see the same specialists who managed their initial medical procedures.
