What this bill would do

This bill, known as the "Military CARE Act," requires the Secretary of Defense to create a digital system for reporting access issues at military medical treatment facilities. Under this system, covered beneficiaries can electronically file complaints and track their status. Complaints will be sent to Department of Defense patient advocates and aggregated for the Director of the Defense Health Agency every quarter. Additionally, the Secretary of Defense must submit an annual report to the House and Senate Committees on Armed Services. This report must detail the number of complaints and provide specific comparisons regarding the types of care issues encountered.
