Medicaid Purchase Plan
Upcoming changes to the NEMT manager
In August of 2022, Veyo, the current manager for non-emergency medical transportation (NEMT) in Wisconsin, was purchased by Medical Transportation Management (MTM), Inc.
Beginning February 1, 2024, Veyo will start their transition to MTM in Wisconsin. The Wisconsin NEMT program will begin using MTM Link, the MTM ride scheduling and mileage reimbursement system, on February 1, 2024. There will not be changes to NEMT covered services.
For more information about the transition, visit the Medicaid NEMT Manager webpage or the Veyo Wisconsin website.

The Medicaid Purchase Plan (MAPP) provides health care coverage for people with a disability who are:
- 18 or older.
- Are working or interested in working.
MAPP provides the same health benefits as Medicaid. With MAPP, you can also save money without it counting toward the program’s asset limit ($15,000). You do this through an independence account, which is a financial account set up through a bank or credit union.
