Tennessean: It is a big day for the poor and the sick in Tennessee, even if they don't know it yet.
TennCare quietly launched an exceptionally expensive and long-overdue Medicaid application system over the weekend, potentially transforming how some of Tennessee's most vulnerable residents obtain medical coverage and other benefits.
Officials confirmed the TennCare Connect system – designed to quickly process applications online or by phone – went live Saturday morning. This application system, which has been federally mandated since 2014, is built upon a computer infrastructure that cost about $400 million, mostly covered by the federal government.
