Patient & Family Support connects patients to necessary services in the community including medical referrals and social service programs. We are committed to providing need-driven services in a timely, individualized manner.

Certified Application Counselors (CACs) are responsible for navigating eligibility for TennCare, CoverKids and other marketplace insurances. They assist with applications, appeals, renewals and faxing paperwork. If a patient is not eligible for insurance, the CAC will employ Mercy's sliding scale program for payment or enrollment in other financial programs. Mercy’s CACs are bi-lingual.

Patient Navigators serve as contacts, advocates and resources for individuals and families to social or medical agencies. The navigator connects patients and families to necessary appointments and programs as requested by the providers. Mercy’s Patient Navigators are bi-lingual.
