Amends TCA Title 33; Title 56; Title 63; Title 68 and Title 71.

Tennessee SB1389 prohibits healthcare providers participating in medical assistance health benefit plans from refusing services to enrollees based solely on their refusal or failure to obtain vaccines or immunizations, particularly if the enrollee or their guardian has a religious or moral objection. The bill affects healthcare providers and enrollees within the TennCare system, with key provisions including a requirement for the director of TennCare to establish rules for reporting violations and an exemption for certain specialists, including oncologists, organ transplant specialists, and those treating immunocompromised patients. Amendments made during the legislative process adjusted the scope of exemptions and clarified the rulemaking process.
