Listening Sessions: Non-Emergency Medical Transportation
March & April, 2022 | Virtual
Many of you work with individuals who use Medicaid's Non-Emergency Medical Transportation (NEMT) services or provide the rides for these individuals' transportation needs. It is important to attend and comment at the four listening sessions hosted by the Center for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) to tell your story at the Federal level. This is your opportunity to have your voice heard as to what works or doesn’t work for your transportation program and your customers.
