I.1.1 MTP Eligibility
People who are currently eligible for Medicaid, Medicaid Managed Care, and Children with Special Health Care Needs (CSHCN) Services Program benefits and their attendants are eligible to receive services. The client's attending physician must certify the need for an attendant unless the client is a CSHCN Services Program client or a minor, or a language or other barrier to communication or mobility exists that requires the assistance of an attendant. For Medicaid and CSHCN Services Program clients younger than 21 years of age, MTP provides advance funds for travel. Additionally, when health-care services require an eligible client to remain overnight, MTP provides for meals and lodging for the eligible child and attendant. CSHCN Services Program clients older than 21 years of age diagnosed with cystic fibrosis may also qualify for these services.
