Yesterday, the Center for Medicaid and CHIP Services and the Federal Transit Administration released a new fact sheet on Medicaid non-emergency medical transportation (NEMT). More here: www.medicaid.gov/medicaid/ben...
Medicaid Transportation Coverage & Coordination Fact Sheet. Overview Who: This Medicaid Transportation Coverage & Coordination Fact Sheet was developed for state departments of transportation (DOTs), state Medicaid agencies, and other transportation entities that provide or are exploring Medicaid-funded non-emergency medical transportation (NEMT). What: This resource aims to help state Medicaid agencies and state DOTs better coordinate transportation for low-income individuals, people with disabilities, and older adults and foster partnerships between state agencies. The fact sheet includes commonly asked questions about the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services’ (CMS) Medicaid Transportation Coverage Guide (the Guide). States administer their Medicaid programs under broad federal guidelines; therefore, communication should happen at the state level. Why: As members of the Coordinating Council on Access and Mobility (CCAM), CMS and the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) are collaborating to coordinate resources for NEMT and encourage partnerships between state-level counterparts. State Medicaid agencies have flexibilities in how they administer NEMT and because of this, answers to Medicaid transportation coverage questions will vary by state. Collaboration is fundamental to ensuring all providers have a shared understanding of what is allowed in their state.
