Background/Purpose of Request:
Brunswick County is required by the Department of Medical Assistance to provide or arrange for transportation of qualified individuals to and from qualified non-emergency medical visits.
DSS recently set a new rate of $2.60/mile for all rides for participants from the County's existing vendors. A rotation created by the timeliness of each vendor's response affirming a desire to continue service has been set.
The Board has already approved contracts for 1) Med Trans and 2) Brunswick Transit System. Ivory's is the third vendor to participate in this rotation but the contract process was on hold while paperwork issues were addressed by the vendor.
The funding used to pay vendor invoices is provided by Medicaid.
Staff recommends approval of the contracts. |
