Information about Medical Transportation Management, Inc. (MTM)
Medical Transportation Management, Inc. is the transportation broker responsible for coordinating Non-Emergency Medical Transportation (NEMT) for Idaho Medicaid eligible participants in the State of Idaho.
Medicaid Non-Emergency Medical Transportation is a phrase typically used to describe a transportation benefit for Medicaid members that ensures:
- Eligible patients can get to and from scheduled medical appointments, scheduled surgeries, urgent care or the hospital
- Trips are non-emergency in nature, meaning there is no immediate threat to the health or life of the participant
- Oxygen can be transported with the member as long as the member or their attendant can handle the equipment on their own. Equipment being transported must be addressed at the time your ride is scheduled
- MTM does not transport to or from the Emergency Room
Patients may require NEMT for a variety of reasons, including: lack of a valid driver’s license, lack of a working vehicle, geographic isolation, or the inability to take traditional transportation for physical, mental, or developmental reasons. Non-Emergency Medical Transportation exists to ensure that participants have access to routine and preventative care to increase overall health outcomes and avoid costly ambulance bills or emergency room visits.
