MAS first decides the right type of transportation for your trip, then considers your choice of provider among the companies enrolled for that type.

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 St. Charles?

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.
