 Plain-English summary Congressional Research Service
Military Spouse Physician Choice Act - Amends the Civilian Health and Medical Program of the Uniformed Services (CHAMPUS) to eliminate the requirement that a covered military dependent obtain a nonavailability-of-health-care statement for the receipt of health care services related to pregnancy.

Amends the Floyd D. Spence National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2001 to waive the requirement of such statement in the case of obstetrics and gynecological care related to the pregnancy of a covered beneficiary using TRICARE Extra (a Department of Defense managed health care program).
