About Firefly

Our Mission

Firefly is a patient-centered service delivery program which aims to improve the quality of care for pregnant and postpartum Medicaid beneficiaries with opioid use disorder and their infants in Middle Tennessee.

Our Background

Tennessee is one of nine U.S. states to receive funding from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) to implement the Maternal Opioid Misuse (MOM) model. In partnership with TennCare and Tennessee’s three Managed Care Organizations (MCOs), VUMC is utilizing MOM model funds to coordinate and expand the services provided to pregnant and postpartum women on Medicaid with OUD. Find out more about the MOM model here.

Our Name

Inspired by one of Tennessee’s three state insects, the firefly, we chose our program’s name to provide hope and inspiration for the women we serve. Through our work to provide comprehensive care and treat patients with dignity and compassion, we seek to light a path for pregnant and postpartum women in recovery and their families.
