Summary
Pennsylvania Medicaid members can now access transportation to medical appointments through the Medical Assistance Transportation Program (MATP), which provides various transportation options based on individual needs. Healthcare providers should help coordinate this service for members who lack transportation to appointments.
Action Required
Immediately: Front desk and care coordination staff should inform Pennsylvania Medicaid patients about MATP transportation services available through their county. For hospitalized patients, work with UnitedHealthcare discharge planners to arrange transportation. Direct members to MATP county-specific resources or contact Enhanced Member Support at 877-844-8844 for coordination assistance.
