roviders responsible for covering transportation of Title XIX/XXI persons age 21 and older?
Passage of HB 2010 requires AHCCCS to eliminate coverage of certain services for adults age 21 and older, effective October 1, 2010. Non-emergency transportation is one of the services identified to no longer be covered. However, AHCCCS must first receive approval from the Centers for Medicaid and Medicare Services (CMS) before coverage of non-emergency transportation is eliminated. Even if CMS approves this change, it is unlikely that it will go into effect on October 1, 2010.
