In a joint release on November 12, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) and the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) shared a fact sheet for states to support efforts to coordinate non-emergency medical transportation (NEMT) for Medicaid enrollees. While targeted at states, the information could benefit  providers of services to older adults enrolled in Medicaid, particularly those receiving home and community-based services, or those residing in affordable housing.

The fact sheet distills the Medicaid Transportation Guide released in September of 2023 and provides best practices to bring transportation providers and authorities together with state Medicaid programs to ensure beneficiaries have access to transportation to doctor and wellness services.

Here is a link to the Medicaid Transportation Coverage and Coordination Fact Sheet.
