How do I get a ride?

First, set up an appointment with your doctor or provider.

To request a ride, call at least two workdays before your appointment, or five days before the appointment if it is outside your county. Phones are answered Monday through Friday, 8 a.m.-5 p.m. local time.

You may be able to be approved for same day rides when:

• Your doctor or dentist must see you on the same day.
• You are released from a hospital, clinic, or other health care facility.
• You need a ride to a drugstore.

If you or your child have a Medicaid health plan:

• Call your health plan’s medical transportation contact number.

If you or your child do not have a health plan:

• Call 877-633-8747 (877-MED- TRIP).

Children 14 and younger may not travel without a parent or guardian. Children 15 through 17 may travel without a parent, but the parent must provide written permission before the trip is scheduled.
