Program Description
This program covers a supply of 100 disposable diapers per month for TennCare and CoverKids-enrolled children under age two. Although TennCare has historically covered diapers and other incontinence products for individuals with illnesses or conditions that impact their ability to control their bladder or bowels, TennCare has not covered these products for children younger than age two until this program that launched in August of 2024. Approximately half of all births in Tennessee are covered by TennCare, and half of all Tennessee children receive their health care through TennCare. Specifically, there are approximately 100,000 children under the age of two covered by TennCare and CoverKids .
