TennCare benefits are administered by the Tennessee Department of Human Services.
TennCare is a managed-care Medicaid program operated by the state of Tennessee. If you live in Tennessee and you're eligible for Medicaid, you must register with the state's Department of Human Services (DHS) before you can receive Medicaid benefits. The DHS website contains a secure application you can fill out online. Once you've filled out the application form online, you can digitally sign and submit your application to DHS from the comfort of your living room.
