Tennessee Provides Free Diapers for Under Age 2 on TennCare

Tennessee is now providing free diapers for children under age 2 covered by TennCare and CoverKids.
Participating pharmacies can help you check if your child is eligible. Make sure to have your child’s OptumRx card or Social Security Number. Children age 2 and older are not eligible for the benefit.
Each eligible child can receive a supply of up to 100 diapers every 30 days. Please see the list of Tennessee Diaper Banks at www.tn.gov/tenncare/diapers if your family needs additional help.
You can visit a participating pharmacy. You can find a list of participating pharmacies at www.tn.gov/tenncare/diapers. The list will be updated regularly as more pharmacies participate. You must pick up diapers at the
pharmacy counter, just like you would get a prescription medicine for your child. But you do not need a prescription to get diapers.
Participating pharmacies in Carroll County are Phipps Pharmacy in McKenzie and Huntingdon and Case Drugs in Bruceton.
For the initial launch of the diaper benefit, TennCare will cover three major brands – Huggies, Cuties, and Pampers. Not all sizes and product lines will be covered. Please talk to your pharmacists about the brands and sizes For a list of diapers available through this program visit www.tn.gov/tenncare/diapers.
There is no cost for the diapers.
You do not need a prescription to get diapers from the pharmacy. You will need to show the pharmacist your child’s OptumRx pharmacy card. For newborns, who have not received their OptumRx card, you can show the
pharmacist the parent’s OptumRx card or Social Security Number.
Reimbursement will not be allowed if you purchase the diapers elsewhere. You must pick up diapers from a participating pharmacy.
Diapers cannot be returned or exchanged.
What if the pharmacy doesn’t have the brand/size in stock? Pharmacies may not carry all brands, sizes or
types of diapers. Call a participating pharmacy to determine what brands are available.
