Improving Access to Maternal Health for Military and Dependent Moms Act of 2024

This bill requires the Secretary of Defense to submit a detailed report within two years on maternal health access for military families. It directly affects military beneficiaries and their dependents (referred to as "covered individuals") by mandating an analysis of care availability, staffing shortages (like OB-GYNs and midwives), and challenges in accessing services at military facilities and TRICARE providers. The report must cover continuity of care during relocations, wait times, patient satisfaction, historical spending, and identify maternity care deserts. It also requests specific recommendations to address staffing gaps and improve care delivery for pregnant and postpartum military moms.
