Cover Tennessee is a volunteer programme that helps people get affordable health insurance in Tennessee. This insurance is not only affordable for the state, but also for people who join Cover Tennessee. Cover Tennessee is meant to help Tennessee residents who don't have health insurance because they can't afford to buy a plan or because they can afford to buy a plan but keep getting turned down because of a health condition they've had for a long time or because they're in very bad health.
All over the U.S., states are struggling to help their people find health insurance that is affordable. Some Americans can't afford health insurance at all, while others can pay for it but can't get it because it seems like every health insurance company they talk to says they are "uninsurable." Tennessee knows that both children and adults need affordable health insurance and coverage for prescription drugs. To meet these needs, Tennessee created Cover Tennessee, a programme similar to others that other states have made for health insurance and health care.
CoverTN, CoverKids, CoverRx, AccessTN, and ProjectDiabetes are the five "parts" of CoverTN's health insurance coverage. CoverTN is like a big umbrella that holds all of these "parts." Thanks to all of these parts of Cover Tennessee, uninsured people in Tennessee, including children, can get good, affordable health insurance and coverage for their prescription drugs. Through ProjectDiabetes, school-aged children also learn how to eat well to avoid diabetes and obesity.
Visit the Tennessee Department of Commerce and Insurance website or give them a call to find out more about Cover Tennessee and its different health insurance coverage programmes. You can also go to http://CoverTN.org, which is Cover Tennessee's official website, or call them at 866-CoverTN.
Everyone should be able to get affordable health insurance, and the Cover Tennessee programme is trying to make that happen for people who live in Tennessee.
