Budget estimate

$10,000,000 – $50,000,000

The contract is for administering a statewide Medicaid pharmacy program, which historically runs into the tens of millions of dollars annually. Considering the size of TennCare, the administrative fee structure, and typical market rates for pharmacy benefit management, the total award is likely in the $10 million to $50 million range over the contract term. Factors influencing the final amount include the contract length (often multi‑year), volume of prescriptions processed, and negotiated rebate/reimbursement structures.
