    TennCare and Tennessee Real Estate: What Real Estate Professionals Need to Know FIDELITY NATIONAL TITLE GROUP JESSICA WEBB-AYER Introduction to TennCare TennCare is a program that provides health insurance to people who are eligible for Medicaid and to certain other people who lack access to insurance. A managed care model is used for delivering program benefits. In order to qualify for this benefit program, you must be: ◦ A resident of the state of Tennessee; and ◦ A U.S. citizen or qualified alien. TennCare Qualifications To qualify for TennCare, you must also be: ◦ Pregnant; ◦ A child under age 19; ◦ A parent or relative caretaker of a dependent child or children under age 21; ◦ Disabled; ◦ Elderly; or ◦ Uninsurable. Financial Eligibility ◦ Individuals must also meet the financial eligibility criteria that go with each category. ◦ Generally, an individual’s financial situation would be characterized as either low income or very low income. ◦ In order to qualify, the individual must have an annual household income (before taxes) that is below a certain amount. History of Medicaid ◦ To understand TennCare completely, we need to have a history lesson and take a look at Medicaid. ◦ In 1965, President Lyndon B. Johnson signed Medicare and Medicaid into law. ◦ Medicare v. Medicaid ◦ Medicare is supposed to help with short-term needs rather than long-term care. It provides health insurance and other medical needs to elderly and disabled U.S. citizens. ◦ Medicaid is supposed to help low-income earners with long-term health services and support costs they could not afford by themselves. Medicaid: A Federal and State PrograM Because Medicaid is such an expensive and comprehensive program: ◦ Under the Social Security Act, it was designed as a joint federal and state insurance program.
