Emergency and Non Emergency Medical Transportation Explained?
An emergency is any event that puts the health and life of a Medicaid beneficiary at serious risk without immediate treatment. Real emergencies occur when the medical needs of a beneficiary are immediate and due to severe symptoms. A life-threatening event such as uncontrolled bleeding, heart attack, an automobile accident, or other serious trauma may cause the symptoms. Medicaid reimburses emergency transportation providers when they furnish services to eligible beneficiaries according to the rules. The Medicaid NEMT benefit is authorized under the Social Security Act section 1902(a)(70) and 42 CFR section 440.170. Medicaid NEMT is transportation for eligible Medicaid beneficiaries to and from appointments and services for those who have a legitimate need for the services.
