Description
Background
The Ohio Department of Medicaid (ODM) is seeking information through this Request for Information (RFI) regarding the verification of non-emergency medical transportation (NEMT) services provided to Ohio Medicaid enrollees. This initiative is part of ODM's effort to comply with federal regulations requiring states to ensure necessary transportation for Medicaid recipients. Currently, Ohio lacks a unified statewide NEMT system, relying instead on various county-administered and managed care entity programs.
The RFI aims to gather insights on systems and technologies that could enhance ODM's oversight of these services, particularly in relation to GPS data collection and integration into existing workflows.
Work Details
ODM is looking for information on the following aspects related to NEMT services:
1. Methods for collecting GPS location data to verify NEMT services.
2. Alternative data collection methods when GPS coordinates are unavailable.
3. Integration capabilities with existing ODM systems such as the Fiscal Intermediary module and Electronic Visit Verification system.
4. Coordination strategies for data collection from Managed Care Entities (MCEs).
5. Technologies available to reduce costs and prevent fraud within the Medicaid program, including AI and machine learning solutions.
6. Estimated costs associated with data collection and system integration.
7. Identification of barriers to effective data collection for NEMT services.
8. Strategies for recruiting and retaining providers who may submit claims for transportation services under Medicaid requirements.
Period of Performance
This RFI is issued solely for information gathering purposes and does not establish a contract or timeline for performance; however, responses must be submitted by September 14, 2026.
Place of Performance
The geographic scope includes all counties in Ohio as the NEMT services are administered at the county level.
Bidder Requirements
Respondents must have expertise in NEMT services and should not include any trade secret or proprietary information in their responses. The RFI encourages submissions that detail methods, technological solutions, or services relevant to ODM's needs.
