Chairman Hicks presented the bill and noted it would incentivize primary care practices to build integrated behavioral health teams by clarifying coverage and reimbursement. The model described on the record is a federally recognized integrative behavioral‑health approach led by a primary care provider who contracts with or employs a psychiatrist or psychiatric nurse practitioner as part of the care team. The sponsor said the bill includes the state employee health benefit plan.

On the record, Reeves described Access TN as a state‑sponsored health insurance program funded with state dollars for current members who have household incomes at or below 100 percent of the federal poverty level and who are not eligible for marketplace subsidies or tax credits.
