🔍 Understanding Insurance & TennCare
Insurance and TennCare programs may provide coverage for certain non-medical in-home care services, depending on the individual’s plan, eligibility, and authorization.
Because every plan is different, coverage is not guaranteed and must be verified prior to the start of services.

When approved, services may include:
• Personal care assistance (bathing, dressing, grooming)
• Assistance with activities of daily living (ADLs)
• Mobility support and supervision
• Safety monitoring

All services are non-medical and provided in the home setting.
