Drugs, Prescription - As enacted, requires the bureau of TennCare to biannually publish two comprehensive statewide data reports on the use of psychotropic medications and the psychotropic medications' associated costs with certain list categories and data points that must be included in each report. - Amends TCA Title 37; Title 68 and Title 71.
HB 2389 requires Tennessee's TennCare program (state Medicaid) to publish two biannual reports starting in 2027. The first report details statewide usage patterns of psychotropic medications (drugs affecting mood or behavior, like antidepressants or antipsychotics) across age groups, medication counts per person, and associated costs. The second report specifically tracks medication use among children in foster care and young adults in state custody, including cost breakdowns. All data must be de-identified to comply with privacy laws, published on TennCare's website, and shared with health committees. The bill directly affects TennCare, state health agencies, and healthcare providers billing through TennCare.
