📢 Important Medicare & TennCare Change Coming in 2027

Do you or your patient have both Medicare and TennCare Medicaid? An important change may affect your coverage beginning January 1, 2027.

If you are enrolled in a Dual Eligible Special Needs Plan (D-SNP) through BlueCare, UnitedHealthcare, or Wellpoint, your Medicare D-SNP and TennCare Medicaid health plan must be with the same company.

What happens if they don’t match?

If your plans do not match by December 31, 2026, you may be disenrolled from your Medicare D-SNP, moved to Original Medicare, and need to select a Part D prescription drug plan.

What should you do?

Check your Medicare and TennCare insurance plans now. If they do not match, you can either change your Medicare D-SNP to match your TennCare plan or change your TennCare plan to match your Medicare D-SNP.

Don’t wait until the end of the year to review your coverage!
