NASHVILLE – The State of Tennessee today received relief from U.S. District Court, resolving a long-standing court order that will help minimize planned budget cuts in TennCare’s effort to meet its budget reductions for next year. The court granted the state permission to check the eligibility of 150,000 TennCare members, some of whom may no longer be eligible for the program. They are all members of a class of enrollees subject to a 21-year old court order known as Daniels.
