What Your Pregnant Employees Should Know

If any of your enrolled employees become pregnant, please encourage them to enroll in HealthyTNBabies for their maternity benefits. CoverTN members MUST sign up for HealthyTNBabies instead of TennCare in order to keep CoverTN after their pregnancy. If they enroll in TennCare, the following will happen:

• They will be disenrolled from CoverTN
• They will be unable to re-enroll once their TennCare coverage ends, since CoverTN is now closed

The ONLY way your pregnant employees will be able to keep their CoverTN coverage after their baby is born is if they enroll in HealthyTNBabies for their maternity coverage instead of TennCare. Doing so will enable them to keep receiving health benefits from CoverTN during and after their pregnancy without any gap in coverage.

All CoverTN members who become pregnant are automatically eligible for HealthyTNBabies from the date they first receive services for their pregnancy through 60 days after the pregnancy has ended. They can stay on both CoverTN and HealthyTNBabies as long as they keep paying their CoverTN premium.

Please note that newborns of HealthyTNBabies members will need to have their own coverage. To get coverage, new moms will be responsible for notifying CoverKids as soon as their baby is born. Eligibility is not automatic. CoverKids will determine if their baby is eligible for TennCare or CoverKids, based on their income.
