Self Reimbursement for NET

If you qualify and choose to transport yourself (or have someone else drive you) to and from your Medicaid approved appointments you have the option of self reimbursement.

Self Reimbursement is a program that is paid through Stark County that reimburses you for mileage to and from your Medicaid approved appointments.

What do I need to do to use the Self Reimbursement service?

• Call the NET Coordinators and tell them you would like to use the self reimbursement program. They will verify if you are eligible and, if you are new to the transportation program, set you up in our system.
•  A NET Mileage Reimbursement Form will be mailed to you to have you doctor complete and return to Stark County in the provided envelope. The form will then be sent to the appropriate office for reimbursement and a check will be mailed to you.

**Copies of a current and valid driver’s license and proof of automobile insurance are required for the person driving and must be turned into the NET worker prior to being reimbursed.

**If you are on a spenddown through Medicaid, the spenddown must be met for each month in order to receive reimbursement.
