Hilltop Presents Non-Emergency Medical Transportation (NEMT) Study at Maryland Transportation Conference

Cheryl Powell, senior research analyst at The Hilltop Institute, gave a presentation for the Transportation Association of Maryland’s 20th Annual Fall Conference, Reaching, Teaching, and Serving…Our 20 Year Journey, on October 20 and 21. In the presentation, entitled Maryland Medicaid Non-Emergency Medical Transportation Study, Powell described the study—which evaluated the feasibility of creating a uniform statewide NEMT program in Maryland; any potential cost savings or potential for quality improvement; and the potential impact of the creation of such a program on local health departments—and discussed its findings. Hilltop conducted the study, which was mandated by House Bill 235, on behalf of the Maryland Department of Health and Mental Hygiene. To view the presentation, click here.
