How much will your medical ride cost?

Medicaid medical transportation is free to eligible Medicaid members. There is no copay, fare, or out-of-pocket cost for trips approved through MAS. The provider bills Medicaid directly.

Private pay is priced by driving distance from our published rate card: a base charge for each pickup plus a per-mile rate, with a lower per-mile rate on longer trips. Round trips count each leg, and waiting time past the first 15 minutes is billed by the hour. Our online cost estimator at dachiplus.com/cost/estimator/ prices any trip from your address; call (516) 754-7777 for an exact quote. Medicaid members pay nothing when they book through MAS.

Original Medicare (Parts A and B) generally does not cover routine rides to doctor appointments; it covers ambulance transport only when medically necessary. However, many Medicare Advantage plans on Long Island include a yearly allowance of non-emergency rides as a supplemental benefit. Check your plan documents or call the number on your plan card and ask about a transportation benefit. DachiPlus works with several Medicare Advantage transportation programs, and seniors with Medicaid can ride free through MAS. Call (516) 754-7777 and we will help you sort out which coverage applies.
