NASHVILLE (AP) - Tennessee's expanded Medicaid program would have to make $2.2 billion in cuts if Congress reduces the state's federal funds by as much as 30 percent.

Deep federal spending cuts are required under the recent debt-ceiling agreement in Congress.

Tennessee Finance Commissioner Mark Emkes instructed state agency heads to submit two sets of plans: one for how they would cut 15 percent of federal aid, and another for reducing those funds by an additional 15 percent.

Those plans were released on Tuesday.

TennCare Bureau spokeswoman Kelly Gunderson told The Associated Press the agency doesn't want to see further reductions and that the budget cuts exercise is a "what-if scenario to make sure we're prepared if there are substantial decreases from the federal government."
