Publicly operated transit systems, volunteers, and not-for-hire vehicles are exempt from the requirements outlined in this paragraph.</p> <p>(e) An organization may be terminated, denied, or suspended from enrollment if:</p> <p>(1) the provider has not initiated background studies on the individuals specified in section <a href="/statutes/cite/174.30#stat.174.30.10">174.30, subdivision 10</a>, paragraph (a), clauses (1) to (3); or</p> <p>(2) the provider has initiated background studies on the individuals specified in section <a href="/statutes/cite/174.30#stat.174.30.10">174.30, subdivision 10</a>, paragraph (a), clauses (1) to (3), and:</p> <p>(i) the commissioner has sent the provider a notice that the individual has been disqualified under section <a href="/statutes/cite/245C.14">245C.14</a>; and</p> <p>(ii) the individual has not received a disqualification set-aside specific to the special transportation services provider under sections <a href="/statutes/cite/245C.22">245C.22</a> and <a href="/statutes/cite/245C.23">245C.23</a>.</p> <p>(f) The administrative agency of nonemergency medical transportation must:</p> <p>(1) adhere to the policies defined by the commissioner;</p> <p>(2) pay nonemergency medical transportation providers for services provided to Minnesota health care programs beneficiaries to obtain covered medical services;</p> <p>(3) provide data monthly to the commissioner on appeals, complaints, no-shows, canceled trips, and number of trips by mode; and</p> <p>(4) by July 1, 2016, in accordance with subdivision 18e, utilize a web-based single administrative structure assessment tool that meets the technical requirements established by the commissioner, reconciles trip information with claims being submitted by providers, and ensures prompt payment for nonemergency medical transportation services.</p> <p>(g) Until the commissioner implements the single administrative structure and delivery system under subdivision 18e, clients shall obtain their level-of-service certificate from the commissioner or an entity approved by the commissioner that does not dispatch rides for clients using modes of transportation under paragraph (l), clauses (4), (5), (6), and (7).</p> <p class="in">(h) The commissioner may use an order by the recipient's attending physician, advanced practice registered nurse, physician assistant, or a medical or mental health professional to certify that the recipient requires nonemergency medical transportation services. Nonemergency medical transportation providers shall perform driver-assisted services for eligible individuals, when appropriate. Driver-assisted service includes passenger pickup at and return to the individual's residence or place of business, assistance with admittance of the individual to the medical facility, and assistance in passenger securement or in securing of wheelchairs, child seats, or stretchers in the vehicle.</p> <p>(i) Nonemergency medical transportation providers must take clients to the health care provider using the most direct route, and must not exceed 30 miles for a trip to a primary care provider or 60 miles for a trip to a specialty care provider, unless the client receives authorization from the local agency.</p> <p>(j) Nonemergency medical transportation providers may not bill for separate base rates for the continuation of a trip beyond the original destination. Nonemergency medical transportation providers must maintain trip logs, which include pickup and drop-off times, signed by the medical provider or client, whichever is deemed most appropriate, attesting to mileage traveled to obtain covered medical services. Clients requesting client mileage reimbursement must sign the trip log attesting mileage traveled to obtain covered medical services.</p> <p>(k) The administrative agency shall use the level of service process established by the commissioner to determine the client's most appropriate mode of transportation. If public transit or a certified transportation provider is not available to provide the appropriate service mode for the client, the client may receive a onetime service upgrade.</p> <p>(l) The covered modes of transportation are:</p> <p>(1) client reimbursement, which includes client mileage reimbursement provided to clients who have their own transportation, or to family or an acquaintance who provides transportation to the client;</p> <p>(2) volunteer transport, which includes transportation by volunteers using their own vehicle;</p> <p>(3) unassisted transport, which includes transportation provided to a client by a taxicab or public transit. If a taxicab or public transit is not available, the client can receive transportation from another nonemergency medical transportation provider;</p> <p>(4) assisted transport, which includes transport provided to clients who require assistance by a nonemergency medical transportation provider;</p> <p>(5) lift-equipped/ramp transport, which includes transport provided to a client who is dependent on a device and requires a nonemergency medical transportation provider with a vehicle containing a lift or ramp;</p> <p>(6) protected transport, which includes transport provided to a client who has received a prescreening that has deemed other forms of transportation inappropriate and who requires a provider: (i) with a protected vehicle that is not an ambulance or police car and has safety locks, a video recorder, and a transparent thermoplastic partition between the passenger and the vehicle driver; and (ii) who is certified as a protected transport provider; and</p> <p>(7) stretcher transport, which includes transport for a client in a prone or supine position and requires a nonemergency medical transportation provider with a vehicle that can transport a client in a prone or supine position.</p> <p>(m) The local agency shall be the single administrative agency and shall administer and reimburse for modes defined in paragraph (l) according to paragraphs (p) and (q) when the commissioner has developed, made available, and funded the web-based single administrative structure, assessment tool, and level of need assessment under subdivision 18e. The local agency's financial obligation is limited to funds provided by the state or federal government.</p> <p>(n) The commissioner shall:</p> <p>(1) verify that the mode and use of nonemergency medical transportation is appropriate;</p> <p>(2) verify that the client is going to an approved medical appointment; and</p> <p>(3) investigate all complaints and appeals.</p> <p>(o) The administrative agency shall pay for the services provided in this subdivision and seek reimbursement from the commissioner, if appropriate. As vendors of medical care, local agencies are subject to the provisions in section <a href="/statutes/cite/256B.041">256B.041</a>, the sanctions and monetary recovery actions in section <a href="/statutes/cite/256B.064">256B.064</a>, and Minnesota Rules, parts <a href="/rules/9505.2160">9505.2160</a> to <a href="/rules/9505.2245">9505.2245</a>.</p> <p>(p) Payments for nonemergency medical transportation must be paid based on the client's assessed mode under paragraph (k), not the type of vehicle used to provide the service. The medical assistance reimbursement rates for nonemergency medical transportation services that are payable by or on behalf of the commissioner for nonemergency medical transportation services are:</p> <p>(1) $0.22 per mile for client reimbursement;</p> <p>(2) up to 100 percent of the Internal Revenue Service business deduction rate for volunteer transport;</p> <p>(3) equivalent to the standard fare for unassisted transport when provided by public transit, and $12.10 for the base rate and $1.43 per mile when provided by a nonemergency medical transportation provider;</p> <p>(4) $14.30 for the base rate and $1.43 per mile for assisted transport;</p> <p>(5) $19.80 for the base rate and $1.70 per mile for lift-equipped/ramp transport;</p> <p>(6) $75 for the base rate and $2.40 per mile for protected transport; and</p> <p>(7) $60 for the base rate and $2.40 per mile for stretcher transport, and $9 per trip for an additional attendant if deemed medically necessary.</p> <p>(q) The base rate for nonemergency medical transportation services in areas defined under RUCA to be super rural is equal to 111.3 percent of the respective base rate in paragraph (p), clauses (1) to (7). The mileage rate for nonemergency medical transportation services in areas defined under RUCA to be rural or super rural areas is:</p> <p>(1) for a trip equal to 17 miles or less, equal to 125 percent of the respective mileage rate in paragraph (p), clauses (1) to (7); and</p> <p>(2) for a trip between 18 and 50 miles, equal to 112.5 percent of the respective mileage rate in paragraph (p), clauses (1) to (7).</p> <p>(r) For purposes of reimbursement rates for nonemergency medical transportation services under paragraphs (p) and (q), the zip code of the recipient's place of residence shall determine whether the urban, rural, or super rural reimbursement rate applies.</p> <p>(s) The commissioner, when determining reimbursement rates for nonemergency medical transportation under paragraphs (p) and (q), shall exempt all modes of transportation listed under paragraph (l) from Minnesota Rules, part <a href="/rules/9505.0445">9505.0445</a>, item R, subitem (2).</p> <p>(t) Effective for the first day of each calendar quarter in which the price of gasoline as posted publicly by the United States Energy Information Administration exceeds $3.00 per gallon, the commissioner shall adjust the rate paid per mile in paragraph (p) by one percent up or down for every increase or decrease of ten cents for the price of gasoline. The increase or decrease must be calculated using a base gasoline price of $3.00. The percentage increase or decrease must be calculated using the average of the most recently available price of all grades of gasoline for Minnesota as posted publicly by the United States Energy Information Administration.</p> </div> </div> <div class="bill_section am_subd" id="laws.2.13.0"> <h1 class="bill_sec_no">Sec. 13. </h1> <h1 class="bill_sec_header">Minnesota Statutes 2022, section 473.121, subdivision 19, is amended to read:</h1> <div class="subd" id="laws.2.13.1"> <h2 class="subd_no">Subd. 19.</h2> <h2 class="hn">Public transit or transit.</h2> <p>"Public transit" or "transit" has the meaning given<span class="sr-only">new text begin </span><ins style="text-decoration: underline"> to "public transportation"</ins><span class="sr-only">new text end </span> in section <a href="/statutes/cite/174.22#stat.174.22.7">174.22, subdivision 7</a>.</p> </div> </div> <div class="bill_section am_subd" id="laws.2.14.0"> <h1 class="bill_sec_no">Sec. 14. </h1> <h1 class="bill_sec_header">Minnesota Statutes 2023 Supplement, section 609.855, subdivision 7, is amended to read:</h1> <div class="subd" id="laws.2.14.1"> <h2 class="subd_no">Subd. 7.</h2> <h2 class="hn">Definitions.</h2> <p>(a) The definitions in this subdivision apply in this section.</p> <p>(b) "Public transit" or "transit" has the meaning given<span class="sr-only">new text begin </span><ins style="text-decoration: underline"> to "public transportation"</ins><span class="sr-only">new text end </span> in section <a href="/statutes/cite/174.22#stat.174.22.7">174.22, subdivision 7</a>.</p> <p>(c) "Public transit vehicle" or "transit vehicle" means any vehicle used for the purpose of providing public transit, whether or not the vehicle is owned or operated by a public entity.</p> <p>(d) "Public transit facilities" or "transit facilities" means any vehicles, equipment, property, structures, stations, improvements, plants, parking or other facilities, or rights that are owned, leased, held, or used for the purpose of providing public transit, whether or not the facility is owned or operated by a public entity.</p> <p>(e) "Fare medium" means a ticket, smart card, pass, coupon, token, transfer, or other medium sold or distributed by a public transit provider, or its authorized agents, for use in gaining entry to or use of the public transit facilities or vehicles of the provider.</p> <p>(f) "Proof of fare payment" means a fare medium valid for the place or time at, or the manner in, which it is used.
