Single administrative structure and delivery system pilot program establishment

SF 1916 establishes a three-year pilot program to create a web-based single system for managing nonemergency medical transportation under Minnesota's medical assistance and MinnesotaCare programs. It requires the Human Services commissioner to implement one or two pilot programs (each in at least two non-metropolitan counties) by January 2026, featuring a system that enables real-time scheduling, eligibility checks, two-way communication between insurers and transport providers, expedited payments, and feedback collection. The program directly affects participating counties, transportation providers, and beneficiaries using these services. By February 2027 and annually thereafter, the commissioner must submit reports on the pilot's progress to relevant legislative committees.
