Maine Supreme Court Upholds $750M Medicaid Transport Contract with Modivcare
The Maine Supreme Court ruled Tuesday in favor of the state's 10-year, $750 million Medicaid non-emergency transportation contract with Denver-based Modivcare, ending a legal challenge by nonprofit provider Penquis. The decision allows Maine DHHS to proceed with the statewide contract, consolidating NEMT services under a single vendor. The ruling resolves a multi-year procurement dispute and establishes the operational framework for Medicaid transportation services statewide. The contract represents one of the largest NEMT procurements nationally and affects transportation access for Maine's Medicaid beneficiaries.
The ruling finalizes Maine's shift to a single statewide NEMT vendor, affecting how managed care plans and the state coordinate transportation benefits and potentially setting a precedent for other states considering NEMT consolidation.
