TENNCARE EXPANSION IN HOME AND COMMUNITY BASED SERVICES APPROVED BY FEDS
TENNESSEE GETS 2,300 IN-HOME CARE SLOTS
Nashville – TennCare announced today the approval of a planned expansion of home and community services. The federal government recently approved an expansion that will allow TennCare to serve 2.300 more people in its Home and Community Based Services (HCBS) program for the elderly and adults with physical disabilities. With the expansion, TennCare will provide these services to 6,000 individuals this year. The funds for the expansion were approved by the General Assembly in the state budget that passed in May.
“The goal of serving more people in their homes with the kinds of services that make sound fiscal sense is becoming a reality for more Tennesseans,” Bredesen said. “With this expansion there are more openings today for Tennesseans to receive this kind of care at home.”
