CoverTN is a limited-benefit health plan designed to cover the medical services needed by most people.

Offered by BlueCross BlueShield of Tennessee, CoverTN allows individuals to choose from two different plans — Plan A and Plan B. Since CoverTN is designed to provide coverage for the most needed services, the plans have no deductible. Members pay low co-pays for medical services.

CoverTN has a 12-month pre-existing condition waiting period. No benefits will be paid for conditions that are present during the immediate six months prior to enrolling in CoverTN for the first 12 months of the policy. After the member has been enrolled in CoverTN for 12 months, CoverTN will begin covering these conditions.

CoverTN benefits include coverage for doctor visits, emergency treatment, inpatient and outpatient care, as well as pharmacy coverage. The chart below shows both plan options, including co-pays.

CoverTN members who become pregnant will remain enrolled in CoverTN but will receive maternity benefits and pregnancy-related services through CoverKids HealthyTNBabies or TennCare.

Members exceeding the $25,000 annual benefit maximum will continue to receive network discounts on their medical services and prescription drugs when they use network providers and pharmacies.
