TennCare To Provide Half Of The Average Supply Of Diapers For First Two Years For Infants Enrolled In Medicaid

TennCare, Tennessee's Medicaid program, is preparing to pay for diapers through the first two years of a child's life for families of infants enrolled in the state's Medicaid program. Mothers, parents and caretakers will not be required to be TennCare participants to obtain the diaper benefit for their child.

The benefit is expected to be in place by January 2024, but must first be approved by the federal Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services. If approved, TennCare will provide half of the total average number of diapers needed by an infant each month for each child eligible . . .
