Military CARE Act

This bill would require the Secretary of Defense to set up a digital system within 18 months for people enrolled in TRICARE who get care at military medical treatment facilities. Through the system, they could file complaints online about access to care and check the status of their complaints at any time. Complaints would be sent to a Department of Defense patient advocate and could be combined and sent to the Director of the Defense Health Agency every three months. The Secretary would also send Congress a yearly report on the complaints, broken down by facility and type of care.
