Summary
Oregon Health Authority is implementing a pilot program allowing Medicaid brokerages to contract directly with rideshare companies like Uber and Lyft for non-emergent medical transportation starting January 1, 2024. Until December 31, 2023, Medicaid members can use rideshare services and request direct reimbursement from brokerages.
Action Required
No immediate action required for billing teams. This policy affects transportation brokerages, not healthcare billing practices. Continue to verify that appointments are for Medicaid-covered services as usual.
