SB 2023 Tennessee Senate · 114th Regular Session (2025-2026)

TennCare - As enacted, extends the nursing home annual assessment fee to June 30, 2027; makes other related revisions. - Amends TCA Title 71, Chapter 5, Part 10.

This bill extends the deadline for nursing homes to pay an annual assessment fee under Tennessee's Medicaid program (TennCare) from June 30, 2026, to June 30, 2027. It directly affects licensed nursing homes receiving Medicaid reimbursement by delaying their payment obligation by one year. The bill primarily revises specific dates in Tennessee law (TCA Title 71, Chapter 5, Part 10) related to fee collection and reimbursement calculations. These changes align the fee schedule with updated fiscal year timelines without altering the underlying reimbursement methodology.
