As another chapter unfolds in my losing health insurance through TennCare, I fortunately found another system through my state-run psychiatric clinic: Behavorial Health Safety Net.
I’m still learning about this health care insurance, but so far I found out that I do qualify. It has two components to it: Cover RX (covers my medications) and another plan to cover my psychiatrist appointments. So I no longer need to fear going back into a severe, crippling depression once again.
If you are losing your TennCare insurance and use a state-run clinic for your psychiatric needs, ask about Behavorial Health Safety Net. There is still treatment after TennCare vanishes.
I will post more information on this as I learn the process. If I can help one person to keep his/her treatments going, then I have done my job with this post.
Best wishes!
Shannon
