The Medicaid Waiver Program provides a non-emergency medical transportation service for individuals who require assistance getting to medical appointments, errands, or other essential destinations. This program offers transportation options through taxi services, private car rides, and paratransit services via bus or train. Riders have the flexibility to schedule rides in advance, with options for on-demand scheduling and shared rides also available. Payment for this program can be made through various methods such as insurance, vouchers, coupons, donations, and credit card payments. The program may charge a membership fee, a flat fee per ride, or by the mile, and accepts pre-payment as well. Riders have the convenience of paying in cash, by check, or through Medicaid payments. Additionally, the program ensures accessibility by providing door-to-door and curb-to-curb transportation, accommodating service animals, and assisting riders with packages or bags. Riders may also benefit from having a driver who can wait for them while they run errands or attend appointments, offering a reliable and supportive transportation service for older adults in need.
