Bill > SF1916

This bill establishes a pilot program for a web-based single administrative structure and delivery system for nonemergency medical transportation (NEMT) in Minnesota. By January 1, 2026, the commissioners of human services and transportation must implement one or two pilot programs covering at least two counties, excluding metropolitan counties. The system will be required to offer features such as bidirectional communication between payers and transportation providers, real-time trip monitoring and eligibility determination, on-demand reporting, expedited provider payments, and a mechanism for collecting client feedback about transportation services. Each pilot program will operate for three years, and the commissioner must submit annual reports to legislative committees starting February 1, 2027, detailing the program's implementation and outcomes. The goal appears to be improving the efficiency and user experience of medical transportation services for patients enrolled in Medical Assistance and MinnesotaCare programs by creating a more integrated and technologically advanced administrative system.
