SFY25 Q2 TennCare Supplemental Payments/Reports

The payment reports for the SFY25 Q2 TennCare supplemental  payments were sent out by email yesterday (2-11-25). TennCare has instructed the MCO’s to make these payments by February 28, 2025.

After sending out the payment notices yesterday, several providers identified a significant decrease in their payment numbers compared to previous quarters. I brought this to the attention of TennCare and they immediately reached out to the MCO’s.

According to TennCare, BlueCare responded saying “Blue had a large number of denied claims during the 4th quarter 2024.  However, there will be an increase of encounters to be submitted in the 1st quarter 2025 submission.”.
 
Based on this information, it appears that there were a large number of claims that did not qualify for the supplemental payment due to denials but are being corrected/resubmitted and should result in a significant increase in qualifying claims for the next reporting quarter (SFY25 Q3).

GPHS Fire and EMS Program Fundraiser – FDIC

Cecilia leads a progressive Fire and EMS program at GPHS, dedicated to developing the next generation of firefighters and emergency responders. Her students actively engage with local agencies, gaining hands-on experience in fireground operations, 911 centers, and aeromedical services, just to name a few.

Her next major initiative is to take her current cohort of 15 students to the FDIC conference in Indianapolis in April 2025. This experience will provide unparalleled exposure to industry leaders, advanced training, and networking opportunities, reinforcing their commitment to the profession. The total fundraising goal for this effort is approximately $15,000. By supporting this initiative, we can help recruit future students, enhance retention, and foster lifelong careers in fire service through early engagement.
