The State of Tennessee is required by federal and state law* to recover for any funds expended by TennCare (Medicaid), up to the total amount paid by TennCare (Medicaid), on behalf of individuals age 55 and older. Whose estate is subject to TennCare (Medicaid) Recovery? Any person age 55 and older for whom TennCare has paid for nursing facility services or care received from Home and Community Based Services. If the estate is not being probated, you do not have to provide the probate court information but you must obtain a release of TennCare’s claim prior to disbursement of funds and/or assets. How do I find out if the estate owes money to TennCare (Medicaid)? The Bureau of TennCare requires that you complete a Request for Release Form (pdf, 43kb) and provide all requested documentation. If it is determined that no money is owed to the Bureau of TennCare, or that the estate of the deceased TennCare (Medicaid) enrollee is not subject to estate recovery, a release will be provided.
