Effective January 1, 2025, Social Adult Day Care (SADC) transportation will remain a covered benefit under MLTC Plans and SADCs will no longer have the option of their transportation being carved out to fee-for-service. All SADCs will be responsible for managing their own transportation. SADC Programs can opt to use their own vehicles or contract directly with transportation vendors to secure transportation of SADC members to SADC programs.
Before January 1, 2025, SADCs must transition any members whose trips to and from the SADC are arranged through their contracted MLTCP, MAP plan or through MAS to having their trips arranged and paid for by the SADC they are attending.
SADCs that do not currently provide transportation must initiate one of the following:
- Obtain their own vehicles in order to provide transportation of their members to/from their SADC program; or
- Contract with a transportation provider for provision of transportation services for their members to/from their SADC program. SADC programs can request a geographic specific list of transportation providers by contacting medtrans@health.ny.gov with the subject line: SADC list of transportation providers.
Additional information is available on the Department of Health MLTC Webpage.
