TennCare - As introduced, enacts the "TennCare Network Reporting Reform Act." - Amends TCA Title 71.
HB 711, the "TennCare Network Reporting Reform Act," requires Tennessee's TennCare program to publicly report specific service access metrics starting January 2026. It mandates annual publication of data on network adequacy, service utilization percentages, appointment wait times, and time between service approval and receipt - broken down by service type, county, and demographics. This applies directly to TennCare beneficiaries in 1115(c) and 1915(c) waiver programs (including CHOICES and disability support services) and their providers. The data must be published on TennCare's website in downloadable format, improving transparency about access to services. The bill does not change eligibility or benefits but focuses on standardizing public reporting of service delivery metrics.
