Are You About to Lose Your Private Duty Nursing?


Have you gotten a letter or call from AmeriGroup or AmeriChoice or another TennCare managed care company about cutting your nursing services?

Are you worried about being FORCED into a nursing home?

If you answered YES to any of these questions, then COME to our training meeting to understand what your rights are and how to appeal.

If you do NOT appeal, you may lose part or all of your nursing services and you may end up in a nursing home.
