“Tennessee will be the first state to put a Medicaid block-grant program into effect now that the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) recently approved the waiver. Block grants are fixed amounts of money that the federal government awards to states, allowing them to provide funding for benefit programs and services. Thanks to the Tennessean for the opportunity to share the news of this enhancement to the state’s overall Medicaid program.”
