HR-4220 : Still Just a Bill

The "Dental Care for Our Troops Act" (H.R. 4220) amends Title 10 of the United States Code to modify the TRICARE dental program for members of the Selected Reserve of the Ready Reserve.

• Eliminates Premiums: Establishes a no-premium dental plan for members of the Selected Reserve, ensuring they are not charged premiums for dental benefits.
• Eliminates Copayments: Members receiving dental care under this no-premium plan will not be charged copayments for any care covered under the plan.
• Revisions to Existing Sections: Reorganizes and updates sections of the existing law to accommodate these changes, specifically modifying subsections related to premium plans and cost-sharing.

In summary, this bill aims to provide free dental care, without premiums or copayments, to members of the Selected Reserve of the Ready Reserve under the TRICARE dental program.
