Action Required

Action needed
Immediately: Billing team must verify that all NEMT providers used for patient transportation have current, valid driver licenses and vehicle registrations. Update NEMT provider credentialing files to document license and registration verification. Instruct staff to only schedule transportation with compliant NEMT providers to avoid service disruptions and potential claim denials for members requiring medical transportation.
