Katie Beckett Program (Part A)

The TennCare Katie Beckett Program is for children under age 18 with disabilities or complex medical needs who are not Medicaid eligible because of their parent’s income or assets. It helps to provide care for the child’s medical needs or disability that private insurance does not cover. Katie Beckett Part A (or “Part A” for short) is for children who would qualify for care in a medical institution—like a hospital, nursing home or ICF/IID (Intermediate Care Facility for Individuals with Intellectual Disabilities)—but who want care at home instead.
