The Florida Department of Transportation developed a project for automatic vehicle location in conjunction with loading Medicaid passengers. The system consists of an onboard credit card reader, digital odometer, Global Positioning Satellite receiver, and radio interface. At the time a Medicaid recipient boards or exits the vehicle, data transmits the passenger identification number, vehicle number, latitude, longitude, and odometer reading. The data elements are automatically collated in the billing computer with trip records and transmitted on-line to Medicaid's fiscal agent. The technology of this system can be a major factor in the elimination of both passenger and provider fraud. Improved data and availability are also added benefits of the system.
