Episode Details

BlueCross BlueShield of Tennessees new report reveals regional health disparities, with Middle Tennessee facing housing insecurity, West Tennessee grappling with high debt, and East Tennessee dealing with food shortages. Language barriers affect nearly 40% of Hispanic members and over 20% of Asian members. BlueCross is collaborating with healthcare providers and community groups to improve access to care and address these disparities, particularly for Medicaid members. While progress has been made in areas like blood pressure control and cancer screenings, antidepressant compliance remains low. Some counties, like Davidson, lag behind in mental health follow-ups and maternal care, while Middle Tennessee spots have low child vaccination rates. The full report is available on the BlueCross website.
