The fight to protect the most vulnerable of Tennessee continues, as the Tennessee Health Care Campaign begins new strategies to raise funds and awareness to battle TennCare cuts now and in the new legislative session.
The latest threat is to our neighbors who are homebound because of age and/or medical condition. Like me, you probably thought they were protected by the nation's safety net.
We're wrong. But it's not too late. If you care about the most vulnerable in your community, please take note of the following alert:
Are you about to lose your Private Duty Nursing?
Have you gotten a letter or call from AmeriGroup or AmeriChoice or another TennCare managed care company about cutting your nursing services?
Are you worried about being FORCED into a nursing home?
If you answered YES to any of these questions, then COME to our training meeting to understand what your rights are and how to appeal. If you do NOT appeal, you may lose part or all of your nursing services and you may end up in a nursing home.
