What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

This bill requires the Department of Health Services (DHS), to the extent

permitted by the contract, to modify the current contract for the arrangement and

reimbursement of nonemergency medical transportation for Medical Assistance

(MA) recipients to exclude MA recipients who reside in Buffalo, Eau Claire,

Jefferson, Kenosha, Milwaukee, Ozaukee, Pepin, Racine, Rock, Trempealeau,

Walworth, Washington, and Waukesha counties from the contract unless the county

chooses to remain under the original contract. If DHS modifies the contract, it must

make alternative arrangements with counties, health maintenance organizations,

or transportation providers to provided nonemergency medical transportation

services to MA recipients residing in those counties. MA is administered by DHS and

is a joint federal and state program that provides health services to individuals who

have limited financial resources.
