NASHVILLE, Tenn.- The annual TennCare Standard Spend Down program opens Tuesday night to help those who are struggling with high, unpaid medical bills.
Applications for the program will be accepted starting at 6 p.m. and going until either 8:30 p.m. or the enrollment limit of 2,500 is reached. The only way to request an application for the program is by calling the toll-free number, 1-866-358-3230.
The program is only available to a very limited number of qualified low income people with high, unpaid medical bills. Once the limit is reached, phone lines will shut down.
In previous years, demand for the program has been so high that the 2,500 spots filled up within the first hour the calls were accepted.
