FAQ
Common questions about medical transport in Great Neck
How far in advance do I need to schedule a Medicaid ride in New York?
+
New York State requires Medicaid transportation requests be made at least three business days (72 hours) before your appointment. Urgent or same-day medical needs may qualify for expedited scheduling — call MAS at 1-844-666-6270 to confirm.
How much does private-pay medical transportation cost on Long Island?
+
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.
What payment methods do you accept for private rides?
+
We accept all major credit and debit cards and direct billing for approved insurance categories including workers' compensation, no-fault auto, long-term care insurance, and Medicare Advantage transportation benefits where covered.
Can I book a private-pay ride for today?
+
Yes, when vehicles are available. Same-day private booking depends on driver availability and pickup location. Call (516) 754-7777 to check; we confirm or decline same-day requests within the call.
Can a family member or aide ride with me?
+
Yes. We allow one companion or aide to ride at no additional cost on most trips. For multiple companions or specific seating needs, please mention this when booking.
Do you coordinate directly with hospital discharge planners?
+
Yes. We have established relationships with case management and discharge planning teams at most Long Island hospitals. Hospital social workers and case managers can call us directly at (516) 754-7777 to arrange same-day discharge transportation.
