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.
