During the study year, there were approximately 1,469,000 children under 18 in Tennessee Of these, 1,376,000 (93.6 +/- 1.1%) were covered by at least one kind of insurance:
- 967,000 (65.8 +/- 2.1%) were covered by private health insurance
- 463,000 (31.5 +/- 2.1%) were covered by Medicaid
- 81,000 (5.5 +/- 1%) were covered by military health care
(The sum of these percentages exceeds 93.6% because some children are covered by more than one insurance, for example, a private health plan and secondary Medicaid.)
94,000 (6.4 +/- 1.1%) were uninsured the entire year.
