Tennessee SB1389 amends healthcare provider regulations to prohibit refusal of services based on vaccine status.
Tennessee SB1389 amends the state's healthcare provider regulations to ensure that healthcare providers cannot refuse to provide services to enrollees based solely on the enrollee's refusal or failure to obtain a vaccine or immunization for a particular infectious or communicable disease. This applies to providers participating in a medical assistance health benefit plan, including those in the provider network of a managed care organization that contracts with the bureau of TennCare. The bureau of TennCare is prohibited from reimbursing providers who violate this provision.
