The Medical Assistance Transportation program is funded by the State of Maryland and enables eligible individuals to access needed medical care by providing transportation services.
Medical Assistance Transportation coordinates transportation services for Medical Assistance recipients who reside in Baltimore County and who are in need of a transportation to and from medically necessary services. The program provides "last resort" transportation to ambulatory, wheelchair, and stretcher-bound recipients who have no other means available to get to and from medical appointments.
This service is available to Baltimore County residents with eligible, non-restrictive Medical Assistance (Medicaid) to medical services that are covered by Medical Assistance and for which there is no other means of transportation. A Physician Certification for Medical Transportation is required for all clients.
