Transportation Resources

It's essential to have secure and reliable transportation for appointments. Additionally, having a backup transportation plan is highly recommended. If you ever have any concerns regarding transportation, please inform your social worker.

You can set up a ride to and from your appointments. Medicaid needs at least 48 hours' notice. If someone who lives outside of your home drives you, they can get money back for gas. Please call the number for your plan that is listed above to ask for gas reimbursement applications.

For Mississippi residents, please check the back of your Medicaid card for the transportation phone number.
