AI Summary
This bill directs the Department of Medical Assistance Services (DMAS) to seek federal approval to provide supplemental payments to Medicaid recipients specifically for transportation to medical appointments when no other transportation options are available. The bill requires DMAS to develop detailed regulations that will outline the specific circumstances under which these transportation payments will be authorized. By targeting Medicaid members who lack alternative transportation, the bill aims to address potential barriers to healthcare access, ensuring that patients can reach necessary medical appointments even if they do not have personal transportation, live in areas with limited public transit, or cannot afford traditional transportation services.
