Gov. Bill Lee hopes to add people and services to TennCare through the state’s Medicaid “modified” block grant proposal to the federal government, but admits he has no idea how negotiations will turn out.
Memphis legislators and healthcare industry members raised concerns about the state's $7.85 billion Medicaid block grant proposal, saying it raises too many questions that won't be solved until negotiations are done with the federal government.
Gov. Bill Lee is considering scheduling a Memphis public hearing on his Medicaid block grant proposal at the urging of House Minority Leader Karen Camper.
Congressman Steve Cohen is urging a federal official to reject Tennessee’s block grant proposal for Medicaid funds, saying it would violate federal law and “inflict serious harm to recipients in Memphis and Shelby County.”
Tennessee could draw up to $1 billion more in Medicaid funds annually to increase services and possibly add people to TennCare if the federal government agrees to a “modified” block grant proposal, according to Gov. Bill Lee. But no public hearing is scheduled for Memphis.
