Tennessee Legislature Undecided About Home Health Limits

On Monday, March 30, TennCare recipients hurt by the fall 2008 home health limits testified before the legislature's Joint Committee on Government Operations. They asked the committee to make a negative recommendation on these TennCare rules, so they could receive adequate care in their homes. The committee, moved by this testimony, made a neutral recommendation, which means the rules will be reviewed again. ACTION ALERT: Your calls are needed!
