Hospitals and Health Care Facilities - As enacted, enacts the "Annual Coverage Assessment Act of 2026." - Amends TCA Title 71, Chapter 5.
HB 1867 amends Tennessee's TennCare reporting requirements to allow the TennCare division to submit its annual coverage assessment report more frequently than the current quarterly schedule. The bill specifically revises TCA Title 71, Chapter 5, by adding language permitting the division to submit reports at "more frequent intervals" to the finance and health committees of both legislative houses. This change affects the TennCare division (which administers Medicaid) and the legislative committees overseeing healthcare funding. It does not alter coverage policies or eligibility but modifies the reporting timeline for transparency. The bill is currently pending committee review after introduction in January 2026.
