Committee approves amendment to CDTN contract to support Pathway to Independence pilot
Summary
TennCare sought an amendment to a competitively procured Consumer Direct of Tennessee contract to add administrative functionality and fund the four‑year Pathway to Independence pilot; Representative Bridal secured an amendment limiting the contract term back to 06/30/2028 and the committee approved the amended contract.
TennCare asked the committee to amend its competitively procured contract with Consumer Direct of Tennessee (CDTN) to add administrative features and increase maximum liability so the agency can run the four‑year Pathway to Independence pilot. The pilot—funded from year‑4 shared savings—aims to provide up to 12 months of limited insurance assistance to adults transitioning off Medicaid to help them stay employed and off the program.
Representative Bridal commended the pilot but expressed concern that approving the full amendment could effectively extend the contract to 7.5 years without a new RFP. He moved to amend the contract so the termination date remains 06/30/2028 and allow the department to return later with proposals for extensions or separate contracts; the motion was seconded and passed. The committee then approved the contract with that amendment on voice vote.
