Family Health Insurance Regulations in Tennessee (TN):
If you are considering a group plan - for example, through your employer - for your family's health insurance needs, you should know that the state of Tennesse mandates a limit of 12 months for the amount of time an insurance company can exclude coverage of pre-existing conditions. (This time period may be extended to 18 months if you are a late enrollee in the plan.) Insurance companies are thus given the right to search your medical records up to 6 months prior to your plan's effective date to determine these pre-existing conditions.
If you are self-employed in Tennesse, you do not meet the requirements for group health plans; however, if you are employed by a small business, you are eligible for coverage if your company elects to purchase a group plan.
If a medical problem is evident, health insurance companies have the right to deny coverage.
No insurer may deny coverage to a Health Insurance Portability and Affordability Act (HIPAA) eligible individual, nor may they impose exclusion periods.
There are no state limits to the cost of any individual health policy, but policies can never be cancelled if the member becomes sick.
For individuals and families who are denied health insurance, the state of Tennessee provides coverage through TennCare - the state's Medicaid program.
Family-Health-Insurance reviews insurance services to provide information on products and options, but is not an insurer or a licensed agency. Coverage and policies described on this site may not be available in all states.
