AI Summary

This bill amends Tennessee law to integrate the bureau of TennCare, which manages the state's Medicaid program, into the Statewide Planning and Policy Council. Specifically, it adds the director of long-term care services for TennCare and a representative from TennCare's contracted managed care organizations (companies that manage healthcare services for TennCare beneficiaries) to the council's membership. The bill also expands the council's advisory and reporting duties to include TennCare's director, its services, and the implementation of TennCare waivers (special programs that allow states to deviate from federal Medicaid rules), in addition to the department's existing programs. This means the council will now provide advice and receive reports concerning TennCare's operations and initiatives, alongside its current responsibilities.
