Benefit Information
Any benefit costs shown are for providers in our network. We provide members with a flex card to use for select plan benefits. Value of the flex card is preloaded with certain amounts, according to benefits. The allowances for healthy food and housing utilities are part of a special supplemental program for people living with chronic health conditions. Not all members qualify. Value of card may be zero. Card may not be used at all merchants or providers. Merchants and providers must accept major credit cards. Purchases may be restricted to certain types of items and services.
The information on this website isn’t a complete description of each plan’s benefits. Benefit amounts vary by plan. And other benefit limits may apply. Check each plan’s Evidence of Coverage for details. Or give us a call at 1-800-332-57621-800-332-5762, TTY 711.711.
Note: TennCare is not responsible for payment for these benefits, except for appropriate cost sharing amounts. TennCare is not responsible for guaranteeing the availability or quality of these benefits.
Disaster Assistance
Natural disasters are unpredictable. But as a BlueCare Plus Tennessee plan member, you can count on getting the care you need. If the governor of your state, the U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services or the president of the U.S. declares a state of disaster or emergency in your area, you’ll still get care from your plan.
Do not wait — go to the nearest facility to get help. Your health and safety are the most important things. We’ll help take care of the rest. Generally, during a disaster, you can get care from providers who aren’t in our network for the in-network cost-sharing amount. If you can’t use a network pharmacy during a disaster, you may be able to fill your prescription drugs at an out-of-network pharmacy too.
