Memorandum
The opportunity for additional competition to be created exists by exempting non-emergency transportation (NEMT) from Public Service Commission purview. Additional competition could allow for better rates by transporters which would result in lower per member per month rates in subsequent NEMT contracts. There is not currently enough information available to estimate the potential savings at this time.
