Does the plan cover rides to and from medical appointments?

Transportation to medical appointments for SelectHealth members is covered by Medicaid.

SelectHealth members arrange transportation through agencies that contract with the New York State Department of Health to manage non-emergency transportation services covered by Medicaid.

When you call, you will need:

  • Your Medicaid ID number (this is the ID listed on your Medicaid card formatted as 2 letters, 5 numbers, 1 letter – like XX12345X).
  • The name, address, zip code and telephone number of your medical practitioner.
  • The street address and the telephone number where you want to be picked up.
  • The date and time of your appointment, any special needs you have and the general reason for the appointment (doctor visit, check-up, eye appointment, etc.).

You, a caregiver, or your provider can arrange for transportation.
