Tenncare/medicaid during pregnancy?

Question

if you apply for tenncare or medicaid while you are pregnant do the father of the child have to pay the state back. after my baby is born aftre its six week check up i am going to get my own health insurance so will my baby's father have to pay

Answer 1

It depends on the individual situation.  If you are going to be filing for child support then yes the state of tennessee can make the father repay some of the cost of birth.  But in 99 percent of cases tenncare does not go after the father for repayment.
