Senate Introduces the Rx ACCESS Act for Tricare Beneficiaries

Sens. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.) and Tim Kaine (D-Va.) introduced the “Rx Access, Choice, Cost Equity, and Supply Stability (ACCESS) Act” (S. 4106). This bill, if signed into law, would enable greater pharmacy access for Tricare beneficiaries by allowing them to fill non-generics at the pharmacy of their choice (retail, mail order, or military treatment facilities), protect pharmacies from unfair reimbursement practices, and increase transparency across Tricare's pharmacy contractor system by requiring an annual audit of the program.

The Senate version of this bill follows the House of Representatives' version of the bill, H.R. 6400. Reps. Jen Kiggans (R-Va.), Maggie Goodlander (D-N.H.), Morgan Luttrell (R-Texas), and Chrissy Houlahan (D-Pa.) introduced H.R. 6400 in December 2025.
