TennCare - As introduced, requires, on and after July 1, 2026, a minor who is enrolled in TennCare medicaid or the CoverKids program to remain eligible for such program until the minor reaches 18; prohibits the division of TennCare from subjecting the minor to a redetermination of eligibility or disenrollment, except under certain circumstances; requires the director of TennCare to submit any necessary federal waiver request by December 31, 2025. - Amends TCA Title 71.

HB 1387 requires Tennessee's TennCare Medicaid and CoverKids programs to automatically renew coverage for enrolled minors until they turn 18, starting July 1, 2026. It prohibits the TennCare division from redetermining eligibility or disenrolling minors for routine reasons (like age) unless specific exceptions apply, such as income exceeding limits, fraud, or a parent/guardian requesting withdrawal. The bill also mandates that the TennCare director submit a federal waiver request by December 31, 2025, to implement this change under federal guidelines. This directly affects minors currently enrolled in these programs, ensuring continuous health coverage without automatic termination at age 18.
