TennCare (Tennessee Healthcare Program)
On January 1, 1994, Tennessee began a new health care reform program called TennCare. This program, which required no new taxes, essentially replaced the Medicaid program in Tennessee. TennCare was designed as a managed care model. It extended coverage to uninsured and uninsurable persons who were not eligible for Medicaid.
The current TennCare program is really two programs. There is TennCare Medicaid, which is for persons who are Medicaid eligible, and TennCare Standard, which is for persons who are not Medicaid eligible but who have been determined to meet the state's criteria as being either uninsured or uninsurable. Historically, individuals in both programs have received the same services. TennCare Standard enrollees with family incomes at or above poverty are required to pay premiums and copays, however.
