(b)

A Medicaid managed care organization may contract with a transportation vendor or other third party to arrange for the provision of nonmedical transportation services.

A Medicaid managed care organization that contracts with a transportation vendor or other third party to arrange for the provision of nonmedical transportation services shall ensure the effective sharing and integration of service coordination, service authorization, and utilization management data between the managed care organization and the transportation vendor or third party.

(d)

The commission may waive the applicability of Subsection (a) to a Medicaid managed care organization for not more than three months as necessary based on the results of a review conducted under Sections 540.0207 (Contractual Obligations Review) and 540.0209 (Compliance and Readiness Review) and until enrollment of recipients in a Medicaid managed care plan offered by the organization is permitted under that section.
