BlueCross BlueShield of Tennessee is “winding down operations” at its subsidiary Shared Health, a move that will affect 150 employees. 

Shared Health provides plans to individuals dually eligible for Medicare and Medicaid in Texas and Mississippi. BCBS Tennessee will wind down the business between September 2025 and early 2026, according to a July 2 statement. 

“This was a tough decision because it will affect around 150 talented, dedicated employees who support Shared Health — but we no longer see a sustainable path forward for this line of business,” the company said. 

Shared Health has around 5,500 members. BCBS Tennessee will support these members through the end of their coverage terms.
