Tennessee SB2255 mandates biannual reports on psychotropic medication use and costs in TennCare.
Tennessee SB2255 requires the Bureau of TennCare to publish two comprehensive reports each year on the use and costs of psychotropic medications. The reports must include data on the number of individuals prescribed these medications, categorized by age groups and county of residence. The reports must also include comparative data from the previous two years, presented in tabular format. The data must be de-identified to comply with privacy laws, including HIPAA. The reports are to be posted on the TennCare website and sent to relevant committees. The act takes effect upon becoming law.
