"Medicaid Transportation Brokerage Program Oversight and Accountability Act"; establishes vehicle, staffing, and performance standards, and review and reporting requirements for non-emergency medical transport provided under State's non-emergency medical transportation brokerage program.
The "Medicaid Transportation Brokerage Program Oversight and Accountability Act" establishes vehicle, staffing, and performance standards for New Jersey's non-emergency medical transportation program that serves Medicaid beneficiaries. It requires transportation providers to maintain properly registered and inspected vehicles (with specific mileage limits), ensure staff are trained and licensed, and provide transportation within 15 minutes of scheduled pick-up times. The Department of Human Services must designate an evaluator to monitor the program, review complaints, conduct annual performance evaluations of transportation brokers and providers, and impose liquidated damages for non-compliance. The bill also mandates detailed documentation of transportation services, including trip timing and vehicle information, and requires annual reporting to the Governor and Legislature on program performance and compliance.
