Dependents of employees on the State Group Insurance Program can also be eligible for TennCare coverage (see the TennCare website for eligibility requirements at http://www.tn.gov/tenncare/).
Employees who are eligible for State Group Insurance Program coverage are not eligible for TennCare coverage, even if they decide not to enroll in state health insurance. Newly hired employees who are enrolled in TennCare when they are hired, are responsible for contacting TennCare to cancel their coverage.
