Call to action: This communication is a reminder that beginning December 15, 2025, SafeRide Health will serve as the new provider for all Non-Emergency Medical Transportation (NEMT) services for Texas Children’s Health Plan members. As of this date, Texas Children’s Health Plan will no longer use Medical Transportation Management (MTM) for NEMT services. For more information, please click here to visit our Member Transportation Assistance page.
The process for members to schedule a ride are as follows:
1. Member will need to call 1-888-583-0110 starting on December 1 for appointments beginning December 15 to request a ride.
2. Members will need to provide:
Name, Member ID, Date of Birth, and/ or eligibility address to verify eligibility of service
Logistics of trip (will they have a guardian/attendant, language needs, do they need a wheelchair accessible ride, etc.)
Members scheduling transportation for health-related services within their Service Area will need to schedule rides with a two-business day notice. For members looking to go outside of that service area, they must give at least a five-business day notice.
Note this constraint does not apply if members need access to treatment for an “urgent condition” such as getting home after a hospital discharge, or going to the pharmacy.
