(5) Amounts collected as premiums under this subsection shall be credited to the appropriation available for the Defense Health Program Account under [section 1100 of this title](https://uscode.house.gov/view.xhtml?req=granuleid:USC-prelim-title10-section1100&num=0&edition=prelim), shall be merged with sums in such Account that are available for the fiscal year in which collected, and shall be available under subsection (b) of such section for such fiscal year. **(e) Regulations.—** The Secretary of Defense, in consultation with the other administering Secretaries, shall prescribe regulations for the administration of this section. **(f) Definitions.—** In this section: (1) The term “immediate family”, with respect to a member of a reserve component, means all of the member’s dependents described in subparagraphs (A), (D), and (I) of [section 1072(2) of this title](https://uscode.house.gov/view.xhtml?req=granuleid:USC-prelim-title10-section1072/2&num=0&edition=prelim).
