Option 2: Managed Care Carve-in

This option proposes to carve-in NEMT services into managed care; however, in the Dallas/Fort Worth and Houston/Beaumont SDAs, the FRBs would continue to provide services until contract expiration. Since NEMT services are provided to TCIP, CSHCN, and residual fee-for-service clients who are not served by managed care organizations, HHSC will need a complimentary model to serve non-managed care clients. The non-managed care transportation services may be provided by a down-sized state operation or through a single FRB.
