Frequently Asked Questions
What is TPAH?
The Tennessee Partnership for Affordable Healthcare is a collaborative advocacy initiative and nonprofit organization that provides a framework for engagement in state policymaking to directly impact the cost of healthcare and health insurance. TPAH’s primary goal is to support public policies in Tennessee that protect the collective interests of small businesses, large employers, non-profits, and individual consumers alike.
How is TPAH relevant to me?
TPAH engages with state lawmakers, healthcare policy experts, executive agencies, and clinical subject-matter professionals to devise, craft, advocate, legislate, and enact a body of state healthcare and employer-sponsored health coverage laws that focus on addressing medical cost concerns, patient safety, and quality care.
Many state lawmakers and regulators actively seek out the advice of business leaders, employers, and entrepreneurs when contemplating laws that could impact their workforce or out state’s healthcare coverage laws for workers. TPAH’s mission is to carry the voice of businesses and job-creators to Capitol Hill so that your elected officials hear from you before they vote on personnel laws and healthcare policies that could impact your employees’ access to safe, quality care or your workforce’s bottom line.
How can TPAH help me and my business?
