When to ask for a ride

When to ask for a ride

Ask for a ride as early as you can, and at least three business days before you need it for regular trips 

 

Sometimes you may ask for a ride with less notice, like:
 

  • When you need a ride home after a hospital stay

  • Trips for urgent health problems (not emergencies, but  severe or painful enough to need  treatment within 24 hours)

Need to cancel your health care visit? You’ll want to let ModivCare know before the approved and scheduled trip.

Ride tips to remember

 

 

Rides to out-of-network providers

 

Are you setting up a ride outside the service area with an out-of-network provider? If yes, your doctor will need to get  PA for that visit before you set up the ride. Just contact your care manager to learn more.

Get help from an attendant

 

Do you need someone to go with you? If you do, we’ll cover these ride costs for up to one eligible adult.

Mark your calendar 

 

Remember to mark your calendar for the date and time of your appointment. You'll want to be ready 30 minutes before your driver is due to arrive.

Be aware of travel requirements for children   

 

  • Aged 14 and younger: Must have a parent, guardian or other authorized adult with them 

  • Aged 15 to 17: Must have a parent, guardian or other authorized adult with them or have consent from one of these on file to travel alone 

  • No need for parental consent if the health care service is confidential in nature
