Frequently asked questions
What does Montana Medicaid pay for medical transportation?
Montana Medicaid publishes 18 transport procedure rates effective 2026 on its fee-for-service schedule. The schedule covers ambulance services, mileage, and non-emergency medical transport. The table on this page shows published rates for common procedures; the complete all-codes schedule is available as a CSV download with a ProviderSignal Rates subscription.
How do Montana's transport rates compare with Medicare?
Most transport codes in this category have no direct national Medicare comparator (Medicare prices these services through different mechanisms), so a median comparison is not published here.
Do transport services need prior authorization in Montana?
Montana publishes prior-authorization flags on its schedule: 16 transport codes are marked as always requiring PA. Codes without a flag carry no published PA indicator.
Where do these rates come from?
Directly from Montana's published Medicaid fee-for-service schedule (effective 2026), collected and normalized by ProviderSignal across all 50 states + DC. Rates are re-collected on a rolling schedule and this page updates automatically. Procedure descriptions are ProviderSignal's own plain-language labels or public-domain CMS text.
