TennCare and CoverKids

TennCare is Tennessee’s Medicaid program. It covers more than 1.5 million Tennesseans.

While they are different programs, both are administered by the Tennessee State Division of TennCare. In 2018 an estimated 55,719 children were eligible for TennCare or CoverKids but were not enrolled. (Data from: https://datacenter.kidscount.org/data#TN)
