Tennessee HB1393 directs the governor to apply for a waiver to provide medical assistance to low-income individuals.
Tennessee HB1393 amends the state's medical assistance provisions by directing the governor, through the commissioner of finance and administration, to apply for a waiver from the federal Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. This waiver would provide medical assistance coverage for individuals with a gross annual income not exceeding 138% of the federal poverty level. If approved by both the federal government and the commissioner, the waiver would take effect immediately. The act becomes effective upon becoming law, as deemed necessary for public welfare.
