CMS recently released a Medicaid Transportation Coverage Guide, which highlights existing policies and includes new policies to address issues such as extended wait times and long-distance trips. It also addresses coverage of transportation for non-Medicaid eligible parents, family members, or other caregivers when required to participate in a Medicaid eligible child’s care.

Medicaid transportation is a critical service that assists beneficiaries with accessing covered Medicaid services and has a direct impact on health outcomes. This guide will help states understand the federal requirements for this service and flexibilities they can implement.
