Medicaid Transportation


Medicaid Transportation

Unlike Medicare, Medicaid is typically more willing to provide beneficiaries with medical transportation. However, this is still a benefit that’s looked at on a per case basis. This means that there’s no guarantee that Medicaid will cover transportation costs, particularly for post-op visits to the doctor’s office. What are your options in this situation? Many people who see that they don’t get covered will just figure out how to find their own way. That can be a dangerous situation, particularly for people who are dealing with specific conditions. This is exactly where our medical transportation services can really help you out! 

 

What Are My Options With Medicaid?

There are a couple of things that we would need to address to make sure that our service is covered by Medicaid. The good thing is that we can help you solve the dilemma directly. One of the things that we need to make sure of is that the ride is to a Medicaid provider. There are also other elements that we need to look into to ensure that we’re able to give you a ride without you having to pay for the service. 

 

What Happens If Transportation Costs Are Not Covered?

In that situation, then you would have to book a service and pay it out of pocket or maybe it can be covered by an external insurance company. Let’s say that you are, in fact, not seeing a Medicaid doctor. When that’s the case then they won’t be able to cover your transportation. If you work with an external insurance company and it’s their doctor that you’re going to see, then you could talk to them about having transportation covered. What we can say from our end is that we’ll do everything within our power to see how we can have you covered for our services. This essentially allows us to give you a ride for free.

 

Paying Out of Pocket Could be Worth It

One of our goals, without a doubt, is to help people have our services covered by their insurance providers. That goes for Medicaid and Medicare beneficiaries. The same is true for people who work with an external insurance company. When there’s just no way to get our services covered, we still believe that it makes a lot of sense to pay out of pocket. Our service is meant to provide the safest environment possible for people who need medical transportation. That’s going to be really hard to replicate for most people with conventional vehicles. 

 

We Can Help You Evaluate Your Situation

If you don’t know where you stand with Medicaid and the possibility of getting our services paid through them, we can help you out. Give us a call or contact us so that we can evaluate your situation. There are plenty of things that we’re going to be able to do on our end to make sure that you’re covered. Don’t think that you have to resolve with Medicaid on your own to get medical transportation covered.
