TennCare pays medical services through managed-care organizations, so Tennessee publishes no state FFS fee schedule for most categories. The rates shown are the schedules Tennessee itself sets, such as DDA waiver services.

Frequently asked questions
What does Tennessee Medicaid pay for behavioral health services?
Tennessee Medicaid publishes 3 behavioral health procedure rates effective 2025 on its fee-for-service schedule. The schedule covers psychotherapy, psychiatric evaluations, substance-use treatment, and community mental health services. The table on this page shows published rates for common procedures; the complete all-codes schedule is available as a CSV download with a ProviderSignal Rates subscription.
How do Tennessee's behavioral health rates compare with Medicare?
Most behavioral health codes in this category have no direct national Medicare comparator (Medicare prices these services through different mechanisms), so a median comparison is not published here.
Do behavioral health services need prior authorization in Tennessee?
Tennessee does not publish prior-authorization indicators on this fee schedule, so PA requirements must be confirmed through the state's provider manual or portal. Absence of a flag here means "not published", never "no PA required".
Where do these rates come from?
Directly from Tennessee's published Medicaid fee-for-service schedule (effective 2025), collected and normalized by ProviderSignal across all 50 states + DC. Rates are re-collected on a rolling schedule and this page updates automatically. Procedure descriptions are ProviderSignal's own plain-language labels or public-domain CMS text.
