Covering The Uninsured Through TennCare: Does It Make A Difference?
Lorenzo Moreno and
Sheila D. Hoag
Tennessee created TennCare in 1994 to address the needs of "poor and uninsured citizens...excluded from the health care system." Under TennCare, Tennessee implemented managed care in its Medicaid program and used savings anticipated from the switch to expand insurance coverage to uninsured and uninsurable adults and children. Our analysis of the expansion suggests that it improved access to care, reduced unmet need, and encouraged use of preventive services, particularly for children. These changes coincided with higher levels of satisfaction with care among TennCare beneficiaries.
