SafeRide Health

CMS has ordered that all states quickly come up with a plan to revalidate a broad swath of Medicaid providers, and NEMT is just one segment that is caught in the crosshairs. It’s the latest in the federal crackdown on healthcare fraud, waste, and abuse that costs the U.S. billions each year and undermines access, trust, and outcomes. Preventing FWA is one reason SafeRide built compliance safeguards into our infrastructure, constantly revalidating transportation providers in our network to make sure they fulfill all federal, state, health plan, and SafeRide requirements. Our latest article is a reminder that stronger oversight, better data, and operational accountability are essential to making Medicaid dollars go further for the people who need them most.

That includes a ride-assignment algorithm that handles about 95% of trips in seconds, AI that detects and corrects address errors before they cause a missed ride, and benefit-integrity controls that flag fraud and waste in real time. It's all built on the proprietary platform that's set SafeRide apart since 2016, and Ben shares where we're taking it next. https://lnkd.in/gyW6qEEF
