Eligibility Data after redetermination:
24% eligible for TennCare Medicaid
23% not eligible - terminated
39% eligible for TennCare Standard
14% eligible for Medical Eligibility (uninsurable) 100%
TennCare has heard from slightly less than 30%. Over 15,000 individuals did not get their letter and it was returned to TennCare.
Only about 1,000 people have appealed their disenrollment. As data becomes available, I will share it with you. It goes without saying that we have a lot of work to do between now and the end of December.
Take care,
