FAQ
Common questions about transportation to LIJ
How do I book a Medicaid ride to LIJ?
Call MAS at 1-844-666-6270 at least 72 hours before your appointment, provide your Medicaid ID and the appointment details, and ask for DachiPlus by name. MAS first decides the right type of transportation for your trip, then considers your choice of provider among the companies enrolled for that type.
How far in advance should I book transportation to LIJ?
For Medicaid trips through MAS, book at least 72 hours ahead. For private pay, 24 to 48 hours is recommended. For urgent needs, call (516) 754-7777 and we'll do our best to accommodate.
Can you coordinate with the discharge team at LIJ?
Yes. Our dispatch coordinates directly with the discharge planners and case managers at LIJ, so the pickup is timed to when you're actually cleared to leave rather than left waiting. Let your care team know you're using DachiPlus.
Can you transport wheelchair patients to LIJ?
Yes. We transport wheelchair users who can transfer to a vehicle seat — your folding wheelchair rides in the trunk with door-through-door help. If you need to remain in your wheelchair for the trip, we coordinate a lift-equipped ambulette through a licensed WAV partner. Tell us your mobility needs when booking.
What does a ride to LIJ cost?
For active Medicaid members, covered trips through MAS cost nothing out of pocket. Private-pay fares depend on distance and vehicle type — call (516) 754-7777 for a quote. We also accept Medicare Advantage, workers' comp, no-fault, and LTCI.
