Medicare Transportation
Medicare typically doesn’t cover transportation costs. That’s a rather unfortunate situation because what that causes is people to have to find their own way to post-op doctor visits or even regular check-ups. If that person is dealing with some mobility or any other situation that makes the drive complicated, they may just be out of luck. If they don’t book an external service like the one that we provide, they have to ride in a car as if they were perfectly equipped to do so. This can take a strain not only on the person who’s headed to the doctor but their loved ones around them who are trying their best to ensure that they can make the trip safely.
What Are Your Options When It Comes to Medicare Transportation
We’ve mentioned that Medicare rarely pays for medical transportation. However, this does leave a bit of a glimmer of hope that you can find yourself in a situation where they will, in fact, help you get to where you need to be. If you want to request our service and see if we can get you approved so that Medicare pays for the trip, give us a call so that we may review your situation.
Ask To Have the Service Provided by Us
Can you ask to have the service provided by us if Medicare does, in fact, cover your transportation costs? That, again, is something that they tend to oversee on a per-case basis. You’re welcome to give us a call, and we can give you more information on how the process works and what we can do on our end to help ensure that our services are, in fact, covered by your medical insurance.
Why It Makes Sense to Pay Out of Pocket for These Services
The first thing that we want to clear up here is that it’s our intention to do everything in our power to make sure that you can get our services covered by your insurance company. If there’s just no way to get that done, does it make sense for you to pay out of pocket for our services? What we provide is a service that allows you to feel a lot safer in moments when you or someone you love can be extremely vulnerable. Taking a fall while trying to access a vehicle can bring forth new issues that this person will have to deal with. While we can’t guarantee that accidents won’t happen on our watch, we can take more steps to avoid them for sure!
