SB 1939 Tennessee Senate · 114th Regular Session (2025-2026)

Hospitals and Health Care Facilities - As enacted, enacts the "Annual Coverage Assessment Act of 2026." - Amends TCA Title 71, Chapter 5.

SB 1939 amends Tennessee law to allow the TennCare division to submit its annual coverage assessment report to the Senate and House finance and health committees more often than quarterly. The bill directly affects the TennCare division (which manages Tennessee's Medicaid program) and the legislative committees overseeing health and budget matters. Its key provision inserts language permitting the division to submit the report on a more frequent basis, rather than requiring the current quarterly schedule. This change streamlines reporting without altering the content or purpose of the assessment.
