Under federal and state regulations, MTP cannot provide services when transportation is included
in the daily rates of programs such as nursing homes (unless the client requires
dialysis treatment) or day activity and health services (DAHS), nor
transportation to health-care services not covered by Medicaid. However,
nursing facilities may use the medical transportation program services to
transport recipient residents for renal dialysis treatment.
MTP does not provide ambulance services. Ambulance transportation may be
available for Medicaid recipients in emergencies, but MTP does not make
those arrangements. Persons needing an ambulance in an emergency should call
their local emergency number. Medicaid recipients needing non-emergency
ambulance services should have their health-care provider contact the Medicaid
Claims Administrator Ambulance Unit at (800) 925-9126 to secure authorization.
