Non-Emergency Medical. Transportation (NEMT) Most non-emergency Medical Transportation (NEMT) is coordinated by the Department of Health Services’ NEMT manager. The NEMT manager arranges and pays for rides to covered Medicaid services for members who have no other way to receive a ride. Rides can include public transportation such as a city bus, non-emergency ground ambulance, rides in specialized medical vehicles (SMV), or rides in other types of vehicles depending on a member’s medical transportation needs, as well as compensated use of private motor vehicles for transportation to and from Medicaid covered services. Non-emergency medical transportation also includes coverage of meals and lodging in accordance with the ForwardHealth policy. Members needing non-emergency medical transportation services should be directed to the DHS NEMT manager. Members may visit the Wisconsin Medicaid and BadgerCare Plus Non-emergency Medical Transportation webpage for more information. The PIHP must promptly provide or arrange for the provision of all NEMT ambulance services not reimbursed by the DHS NEMT manager listed in the ForwardHealth Online Handbook Topic #11898.
