Board of Health approves one‑year Medicaid transportation contract extension to Am Van
Summary
The Washington County Board of Health approved a one‑year contract extension with Am Van (AAA) for Medicaid transportation services, with staff saying 100% of funds are pass‑through Medicaid dollars.
Acting as the Washington County Board of Health, commissioners voted 4‑0 to approve a one‑year contract extension with Am Van (referred to as AAA in the presentation) to provide Medicaid transportation services.
A county staff member identified in the record as Earl presented the item and said the contract runs July 1, 2025, through June 30, 2026, as the last option year on the original agreement. “It is the last option year to the original contract that we had signed with them. And 100% of the funds are basically pass through funds that come down from federal Medicaid to the state to us,” Earl said.
Why it matters: the contract funds transportation for Medicaid‑eligible clients; according to the presentation, the county serves as a pass‑through for federal Medicaid funds routed via the state. The board’s action was taken during a brief Board of Health session called at the start of the meeting and was approved by voice vote.
Ending: The Board of Health reconvened into the Board of County Commissioners following the vote and staff will finalize contractual paperwork subject to the stated effective dates.
