Bill overview
This bill changes the penalty for ambulance providers who don't pay their annual assessment to TennCare. Currently, the penalty was $50 per day, but it’s now 5% of the unpaid amount each month. The bill also extends the deadline for paying this assessment from June 30, 2026, to June 30, 2027. These changes are designed to ensure consistent and timely payments from ambulance services to support TennCare programs.
