Section 405IAC5-30-10. Reimbursement for other transportation services

   Medicaid reimbursement is available for other transportation services, including, but not limited to, intrastate bus or train transportation. Medicaid payment for other transportation services will be that fee usually and customarily charged the general public, subject to federal, state, or local law, rule, or ordinance. Intrastate bus or train services (including services provided in designated areas) require authorization by the office, and interstate bus or train services require authorization from the contractor. Authorization may be given for use of monthly bus passes in situations where a member has an ongoing medical need so that purchase of the bus pass is cost effective when compared to the cost of other modes of transportation. Such authorization shall be given only if the member has agreed to the use of this mode of transportation. To be reimbursed, the bus or train company providing services must be enrolled as a provider.
