The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) and FTA created this Medicaid Coordination Fact Sheet to guide transportation coordination between state Medicaid agencies and state departments of transportation.

In 2023, CMS issued the Medicaid Transportation Coverage Guide to serve as a consolidated and comprehensive source of current and new Medicaid transportation policy, providing a one-stop shop of guidance on federal requirements and state flexibilities. Building upon the guide, this fact sheet helps clarify and encourage partnership at the state level and includes commonly asked questions and relevant resources.

This document fulfills a performance measure [3.1.10] in the 2023 – 2026 Coordinating Council on Access and Mobility (CCAM) Strategic Plan. As members of the CCAM, CMS and FTA continue to coordinate resources for non-emergency medical transportation and encourage partnerships between state-level counterparts.
