MTM is the state of Rhode Island’s non-emergency medical transportation (NEMT) manager. We arrange rides for eligible Rhode Island residents as follows:
- Medicaid recipients can receive rides to appointments with Medicaid-covered health care providers if you have no other way to get there.
- Non-Medicaid enrollees who qualify for the Elderly Transportation Program (ETP) can receive rides to medical appointments and other ETP services; please note, the ETP participant or their representative must call MTM to initiate their account before receiving rides. To create an account, the caller must provide the participant’s full legal name, date of birth, home/pick-up address, and telephone number.
- Participants in the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) Program/RI Works can receive monthly bus passes to pursue employment opportunities.
We are dedicated to providing high quality rides. If you are a recipient, medical or behavioral facility, or transportation provider seeking more information about NEMT services, select one of the pages in the menu above for details specific to your needs.

Stopping Fraud, Waste, and Abuse
MTM wants to stop fraud, waste, and abuse (FWA). Everyone can help us. This includes:
- MTM employees
- Medicaid recipients
- Transportation providers
- Medical facilities
What is FWA?
- Fraud: When someone tricks others on purpose to get something they do not need. This is against the law.
- Waste: When someone uses more rides than they need. This causes unnecessary costs to Medicaid, even if they didn’t mean to.
- Abuse: When transportation providers don’t follow good money practices. Or when recipients don’t use rides as intended. This costs Rhode Island more money.
What does FWA look like?
Here are some examples of FWA:
- MTM billing for services not provided.
- MTM overstating costs in reports.
- MTM not ensuring transportation providers are qualified.
- Transportation providers claiming payment for trips that did not happen.
- Transportation providers claiming payment for two drivers in the same vehicle at the same time.
- Transportation providers claiming payment for one vehicle being used for two or more trips at the same time.
- Transportation providers acting in a way that could harm a recipient.
- Recipients scheduling rides to non-covered locations or services.
- Recipients scheduling rides when they do not have an appointment.
- Recipients submitting fake or wrong trip logs to get more money.
How should you report FWA?
If you think you see or hear of FWA, please report it. Your report can be
anonymous. It will not impact your services. This will help control costs and ensure the right use of NEMT services. You can report FWA to either MTM or EOHHS.
