OPEN MINDS Releases Updated Suite Of Tennessee Medicaid Market Intelligence Resources


Gettysburg, Pa, July 23, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- OPEN MINDS has released an updated suite of Medicaid market intelligence resources on the state of Maryland. The resources include an analysis of the Tennessee’ s Medicaid system, Medicaid managed care vendor contracts, and additional state-specific information.

The Tennessee’s Medicaid managed care program called TennCare II—typically referred to as TennCare—is authorized through a 1115 demonstration waiver. The state contracts with three health plans that deliver physical health and behavioral health benefits and long-term services and supports (LTSS) for most populations, including families and children, dual eligibles, and aged and disabled adults.

The state’s three statewide health plans provide coverage on a full-risk capitated basis for most of the Medicaid population. Enrollees may select a health plan or may be assigned to one. Contracts for the three health plans are available for download. Medicaid services, including LTSS, are provided to enrollees using two different delivery vehicles:

Note: Plans receive value-based reimbursements of up to 1.5% bonus payments applied to member months from the preceding calendar year for each of the six HEDIS measures on which they show significant improvement.
