CoverTN Premiums Premiums are based on an individual's age, weight and tobacco use. See the Weight Status Table for target weight definition.
Monthly premiums for CoverTN are split three ways between the state, employer and employee. In situations of self-employed or individual enrollment, the state pays one-third of the premium while the member pays the remaining two-thirds. The chart below shows one-third of the total monthly premium.
CoverTN members who move into another age band will see their premium increase effective January 1 of the following year. Businesses and employees may benefit by establishing a Section 125 plan and deducting CoverTN premiums pre-tax. However, neither the State of Tennessee nor BlueCross BlueShield of Tennessee are plan administrators and, therefore, cannot provide tax advice. We encourage business owners and employees to consult with their tax advisor. Should a covered individual change jobs or lose their job, they may continue CoverTN coverage; however, the individual will have to assume responsibility for the one-third of the premium that had been paid by the employer in addition to the one-third premium that was already being paid by the individual. The state will continue contributing its one-third share of the premium. In cases where the employee worked for a Tennessee employer but lived in a bordering state, then that individual would no longer be eligible for CoverTN. |
