What happens to the gentleman’s agreement a branch or facility has with a favorite transportation provider? Can we still use them exclusively?
A. The brokerage contract specifically requires the rides to be authorized and assigned to contracted providers that meet the client needs most appropriately and are the lowest cost. Previous agreements are not valid after the brokerage opens. If a facility or branch arranges transportation without the broker’s authorization, the transportation provider will not be paid through Medicaid. The provider could try to recover payment from the branch or facility that contacted them.
