Medicaid Transportation
The non-emergency Medicaid Transportation program can help you access medical care, including primary care, specialist, pharmacy, and mental health visits. Assistance is available to all full-Medicaid recipients. If your application is pending, you are in deductible status, or you receive MQ-B or Health Choice, you are not eligible for assistance.
