More than 37,000 additional Tennesseans were poised to lose their TennCare coverage in July as part of the state insurance provider’s post-pandemic unwinding process, according to a report released this week.

TennCare is in the midst of a 12-month unwinding process, which began in April, to recertify each of its 1.7 million members. In July, more than 150,000 people were up for renewal, based on their pre-pandemic renewal month. Of those who lost coverage, the largest portion, 27,701 people, failed to return the required renewal packet. In addition, 8,393 were found ineligible, and TennCare requested additional information from 1,471 members, with 40 days to produce the material. Members also have 90 days to appeal if they were not initially approved.Â
