TennCare Medicaid Guidance

Understand TennCare eligibility, what it pays for, and what to do if you fall just outside it.

TennCare is Tennessee's Medicaid program. It covers eligible children, pregnant women, parents and caretakers, people with disabilities and many seniors who also have Medicare. Eligibility is based on income, household size and category rather than a single dollar figure, which is why so many families assume they don't qualify without ever checking.

As a licensed local brokerage, we do not process TennCare applications — the state does that — but we help you understand where you stand, coordinate TennCare with Medicare when both apply, and build a plan when the answer is no.

Problems we hear every week

Assuming you don't qualify

Households frequently rule themselves out based on an outdated income figure or a neighbor's experience.

Falling into the coverage gap

Some working families earn too much for TennCare and struggle with unsubsidized premiums.

Losing coverage at redetermination

A missed letter or a paperwork error can end coverage for an entire household without warning.

How we solve it

1

Plain-language eligibility screening

We walk through household size, income sources and category so you know whether applying makes sense.

2

Dual eligible coordination

If you have Medicare and TennCare, we match you with a dual eligible plan that maximizes both.

3

A real plan B

If you don't qualify, we compare under-65 health benefit options, short-term solutions and supplemental products that fit your budget.
