Founded in 1995, MTM was born out of the need

for centralized management of non-emergency

medical transportation (NEMT) services. Helping

the disabled, elderly, and other transportation dis-

advantaged populations with their transit needs

is the core of our operations. An industry-leading

NEMT manager, MTM leverages our extensive

knowledge of the transportation and healthcare

industries to deliver fresh approaches for increas-

ing access to healthcare.

Through our diverse product off erings, MTM helps

clients meet challenges that are often left unful-

fi lled while collaborating to align incentives, re-

duce costs, and increase satisfaction. This approach

directly supports our core mission of increasing the

wellbeing of the populations we serve by remov-

ing community barriers, promoting independence,

and improving health outcomes.

risk medical needs, providing exten-

sive care coordination to ensure their

health and wellbeing.

Fraud & Abuse Reduction

Technology is the heart of MTM

operations, enabling automation,

protocol adherence, error reduc-

tion, and instant access to data.

Our systems were custom built and

include web-based portals, giving

stakeholders on-demand access to

data and service requests. Addition-

ally, our contact centers are linked,

preventing downtime and allowing

automatic call rerouting.

Your Members

Looking for opportunities to provide

cost savings from every angle, our

proven processes and automated

systems methodically root out

fraud, waste, and abuse. Our staff

always verifi es member eligibility,

monitors service appropriateness,

and conducts regular audits to

ensure members receive necessary,

appropriate services that are

benefi cial to their overall health.

Quality

MTM strives to provide the high-

est level of service by demand-

ing quality from employees and

network providers. We are URAC

accredited and maintain satisfaction

Transportation Management

From sedan and ambulatory transports to higher levels of service such as wheelchair

lift and stretcher van, MTM schedules more than seven million trips nationwide each

year. Through our industry-best operating model that leverages comprehensive

network management, innovative technology, extensive cost savings, and excel-

lent customer service, we continually deliver effi ciency and high quality service for

a variety of diverse transportation programs. Thinking outside the box to provide

customized solutions that cater to our clients’ unique needs, MTM takes on diffi cult

transportation challenges and is a true one-stop transportation solution.

Non-Emergency Medical TransportationMTM developed one of the fi rst NEMT brokerage pro-

grams of its kind in Missouri in 1995, and has remained a

clear leader in NEMT management. We understand the

complexities of serving Medicaid and Medicare popula-

tions, including frail, elderly, and other transportation

disadvantaged passengers, and off er proven solutions

for coordinating their needs effi ciently.

Paratransit ServicesAs demand for Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)

paratransit services continues to grow while budgets

tighten, innovative management is a must. MTM’s bro-

kerage model centralizes scheduling, assigns passengers

to lower modes of transportation, and maximizes un-

dedicated, existing networks of vehicles to contain costs

while increasing consistency and quality.

Worker’s CompensationGetting injured workers back to work begins by

getting them to the medical services they need.

MTM has a robust network of national transporta-

tion providers that ensures injured workers receive

timely, quality access to the care that will get them

back on their feet.

Special Needs & EducationFor school districts facing decreased budgets and

fl uctuating enrollment, coordinating transporta-

tion can be a costly, time-consuming process. By

outsourcing transportation to MTM, school systems

can stretch their valuable resources without sacrifi c-

ing the quality, safety, or reliability that is important

when transporting children.

Page 12: Communities without barriers - MTM, Inc.€¦ · MTM’s contact centers continually exceed National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA) standards and provide multilingual services

MTM is redefi ning healthcare management through care coordination. As our

clients strive to best serve their increasing aging and dual eligible populations,

MTM off ers care coordination activities to improve continuity of care, reduce

fragmentation, and realize signifi cant cost savings. Through our home and com-

munity based services, emergency room (ER) diversion, and discharge planning

solutions, our clients and the populations they serve receive innovative, person-

alized approaches specifi c to their care coordination needs.

Care Coordination

Page 13: Communities without barriers - MTM, Inc.€¦ · MTM’s contact centers continually exceed National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA) standards and provide multilingual services

Home & Community Based Services

MTM’s home and community

based services program deploys

network management and care

coordination to deliver practical,

personal solutions for keeping

members happy and healthy in

their homes. Care Coordinators

personalize the care members

need by managing credentialed

networks of service providers

such as personal care assistants,

meal providers, home modifi ca-

tion contractors, home health

aides, and more. This model helps

clients fi ll in their service gaps

while our staff provides critical

support to their case managers.

Discharge Planning

As healthcare evolves, hospi-

tals and health plans alike are

migrating to outpatient care-fo-

cused models to achieve quality

improvement goals and curb

avoidable readmission penalties.

According to a New England

Journal of Medicine study,

34% of Medicare patients were

readmitted to a hospital within

90 days of discharge and 56%

were readmitted within one year.

Appropriate discharge planning

is the key element to ensuring

members receive follow-up care

from their primary care physi-

cian—not the hospital.

ER Diversion

MTM can help reduce ER expen-

ditures by identifying and educat-

ing patients who unnecessarily or

frequently utilize ER services. Our

diversion team contacts the patient,

conducts a telephonic assessment,

and connects them to the most ap-

propriate, cost-eff ective resources

for their condition. We communicate

with the patient regularly, encour-

aging primary care visits and rela-

tionships. Follow-up ensures that

individuals keep their scheduled

appointments and re-education is

performed as necessary.

Page 14: Communities without barriers - MTM, Inc.€¦ · MTM’s contact centers continually exceed National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA) standards and provide multilingual services

AmbulanceStudies show that each year, approximately 25% of ambulance transports are

inappropriately utilized or billed—resulting in nearly $500 million in avoidable

costs. As more health plans face the increasing challenge to reduce inappropriate

expenditures, MTM delivers a centralized solution for non-emergent and emer-

gency ambulance services.

Built upon our extensive experience in the transportation industry, this well-

rounded approach provides up to a 25% reduction in ambulance claims expens-

es while increasing compliance and reducing fraud.

Page 15: Communities without barriers - MTM, Inc.€¦ · MTM’s contact centers continually exceed National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA) standards and provide multilingual services

Ambulance Provider Network Management

By establishing comprehensive networks of credentialed

ambulance providers, MTM increases program quality

and passenger satisfaction. Providers must meet our

stringent requirements and are contracted at a standard-

ized, fair price. We provide ongoing education to ensure

understanding with our expectations, and facilitate

regular monitoring for compliance.

Prior Authorization & Medical Necessity Determination

Under our model, all non-emergent ambulance claims

must be prior authorized. As part of this process, we

conduct level of need assessments to verify a passenger’s

need for ambulance services. Following authorization,

we schedule transport with our network of credentialed

providers, supported by our 24/7/365 contact

center operations.

Claims Processing, Adjudication & Payment

Clients also benefi t from our centralized model for

processing, adjudicating, and paying ambulance

claims. We thoroughly review all submitted claims and

supporting documentation, including pick-up and

drop-off times and passenger signatures, to ensure

service was actually rendered and eradicate inaccu-

rate, fraudulent claims.

Appeals Management

MTM also has processes in place to manage provider

claims appeals in an appropriate, fair manner and

ensure the issue is resolved quickly. We maintain thor-

ough, accurate records of all claims documentation,

ensuring our staff can impartially assess the denial

while protecting against fraud. If the appeal is vali-

dated, we immediately issue payment to the provider.

Experience & Reliability

Throughout our existing customer service centers,

MTM’s expert staff handles more than three million

calls each year while maintaining industry-leading

dards. Our representatives are experienced in work-

ing with members of various health plans, and are

specially trained to adhere to client-specifi c protocols.

the country, our locations are linked by an advanced

phone system that prevents down time and allows

calls to be seamlessly routed between locations based

on capacity and call volume. The system has the capa-

bility to transform calls into rich, multimedia experi-

ences customized to meet specifi c needs and criteria.

Available features include automatically segmenting

and routing calls, Interactive Voice Response (IVR)

technology, and meaningful reporting.

Assessments & Travel Training

MTM’s healthcare and transportation knowledge helps us understand the goals of the

ADA paratransit eligibility process, as well as the complex issues that aff ect individuals

with disabilities and older adults. From this understanding, we developed our On the

Move program for assessment and travel training activities for transit agencies, commu-

nities, school districts, and other entities serving special needs populations. Through On

the Move, we help clients increase the independence of the populations they serve and

facilitate better access to the community.

Page 19: Communities without barriers - MTM, Inc.€¦ · MTM’s contact centers continually exceed National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA) standards and provide multilingual services

Assessments

Instead of considering a medical diagnosis as a fi rm eligibil-

ity determination, our assessments focus on actual function-

al and cognitive abilities. Our qualifi ed, trained evaluators

utilize recognized tools such as the Functional Assessment

of Cognitive Transit Skills (FACTS) test to determine barriers

that may impact an individual’s ability to safely and inde-

pendently access public transit. On the Move off ers several

types of assessments, including:

ADA assessments

Special needs assessments

General mobility assessments

In all cases, assessments utilize the standards and meth-

odologies of national organizations such as the National

Transit Institute (NTI) and Easter Seals Project ACTION (ESPA).

Evaluations follow a comprehensive process to accurately

determine if an individual can safely access public transit

either with or without travel training.

Travel Training

For individuals who are capable of utilizing fi xed

route bus or rail systems but may require assis-

tance before doing so, On the Move travel train-

ers provide comprehensive instruction in real-life

transit scenarios to familiarize the individual with

local transportation options. Varying travel train-

ing services—including one-on-one, classroom/

group, and train the trainer—are customized to

help individuals gain new skills, overcome fears,

and build confi dence.

For the individual trained, increased confi dence,

self-reliance, and community integration are

immediate results of learning to travel indepen-

dently. Travel training also benefi ts the clients

and communities we work with by reducing

program expenses and paratransit utilization

while increasing the use of cost-eff ective public

transit systems.
