Transportation contract threatens county senior services
The Aiken Area Council on Aging seeks state and federal help to block a Medicaid transport bid awarded to Transportation Services Management Inc. The plan that coordinated aging transport across Aiken, Barnwell and Edgefield counties could be destroyed if TSMI serves only Medicaid patients, leaving the elderly and disabled not on Medicaid to be served by others. The loss could jeopardize 1,200 to 2,000 annual rides and raise costs across programs.
