Military families facing cancer would get new supplemental insurance options through a pilot program.
This bill would create a pilot program allowing active military members and their TRICARE-enrolled families to buy extra insurance for cancer costs not covered by their regular health benefits. The Department of Defense would set up this program by late 2026, working with private companies to offer these plans. Families would pay the premiums themselves, possibly through payroll deductions.
Today, military members and their TRICARE-enrolled families might face cancer treatment costs not covered by their health benefits, with no specific Department of Defense program to help. If this bill passes, a pilot program would be set up by September 30, 2026, allowing these families to buy supplemental insurance from private companies to cover those specific cancer-related expenses.
