If you need transportation and have OneCare
Depending on your situation, you may qualify for either non-emergency medical transportation or non-medical transportation. These services are not for emergencies and are available at no cost to you.
Non-Emergency Medical Transportation
You are entitled to non-emergency medical transportation if you have medical needs that don’t allow you to use a car, bus or taxi to your appointments. Non-emergency medical transportation can be provided by ambulance, litter van, wheelchair van or air transport for your medical needs when you need a ride to your appointment. If you need non-emergency medical transportation, you can talk to your PCP and ask for it. Your PCP will decide the best type of transportation to meet your needs.
Non-Medical Transportation
You can get non-medical transportation to and from your appointments for a service authorized (approved) by your provider. You can get a ride, at no cost to you, when you:
- Travel to and from an appointment for a service authorized by your provider, or
- Pick up prescriptions and medical supplies.
OneCare allows you to use a car, taxi, bus or other public or private way to get to your non-medical appointment for services authorized by your provider. We cover the lowest-cost, non-medical transportation type that meets your needs.
