What it would have done
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
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.
