The purpose of this legislation, known as the TRICARE Equality Act, is to enhance the administration of the TRICARE healthcare program specifically for individuals in Puerto Rico. The main objective is to ensure that residents of Puerto Rico receive the same level of healthcare benefits and services as those in the mainland United States. Key provisions of the Act include several important changes. First, it mandates that the Secretary of Defense must designate geographical areas in Puerto Rico for the TRICARE Prime program in the same way that areas are designated in the states.
