LAC 50:XXVII.701. Introduction

A. Non-emergency ambulance transportation (NEAT) is ground or air ambulance transportation provided to Medicaid beneficiaries to and/or from a medically necessary Medicaid covered service when the beneficiary’s condition is such that use of any other method of transportation is contraindicated or would make the beneficiary susceptible to injury. B. Medicaid covered transportation is available to Medicaid beneficiaries when: 1. the beneficiary is enrolled in a Medicaid benefit program that explicitly includes transportation services; and 2. the beneficiary or their representative has stated that they have no other means of transportation. C. This Chapter applies to the fee for service and managed care programs for the provision of NEAT to and/or from medically necessary Medicaid covered services.
