Mental Health Safety Net Services

Click here for important change in pharmacy program

In an effort to help Tennesseans with Serious and Persistent Mental Illness who have been disenrolled from TennCare, the Tennessee Department of Mental Health and Developmental Disabilities (DMHDD) has worked with 20 community mental health agencies across the state to provide key mental health services. This is a more limited set of mental health services than were once covered under TennCare, but evidence shows that these services are the core, vital services that people with serious mental illness must retain to continue leading functional, productive lives.

DMHDD encourages Tennesseans with Severe and Persistent Mental Illness coming off TennCare to register with a participating agency in order to immediately begin receiving key Mental Health Safety Net services including assessment, evaluation, diagnostic, therapeutic intervention, case management, psychiatric medication management, labs related to medication management, and pharmacy assistance and coordination. We hope that the material in this website will educate you about the services that are available and the best way to access those services.
