Michigan Medicaid - MDHHS·MI·Provider Bulletin
Effective date

Summary
Michigan Medicaid now requires additional background screening qualifications for non-emergency medical transportation (NEMT) providers, including family members, foster parents, taxicab drivers, and rideshare companies. These providers must not be excluded from federal healthcare programs, sanctioned, or have controlled substance felony convictions after August 1996.
Action Required
No immediate action required for most billing teams. If your practice coordinates NEMT services for Medicaid patients or bills for transportation services, verify that transportation providers meet the new qualification requirements including federal healthcare program exclusion checks and controlled substance conviction screening.
