TennCare is a government-operated health insurance program designed for people who are eligible for Medicaid, as well as for some children who do not have insurance. TennCare is a Medicaid waiver, or demonstration, program. Its purpose is to demonstrate that the use of managed-care principles can generate sufficient savings to enable the state to cover more than Medicaid eligible people.
TennCare provides health coverage for 1.2 million low-income children, pregnant woman and disabled Tennesseans with an annual budget of $7 billion.
