How LTCI billing works
Two paths
Direct billing: If your LTCI carrier supports direct provider billing, we can bill them on your behalf. You don't pay out of pocket. We need the policy number, carrier billing contact, and a copy of the benefits summary.
Reimbursement: If your policy reimburses you after the fact, you pay the private-pay rate at the time of service. We provide a fully itemized invoice including date, mileage, route, vehicle type, and trip purpose — everything an LTCI claim form requires.
What we provide for every trip
- Pickup and drop-off times
- Round-trip mileage
- Vehicle type (ambulatory or wheelchair)
- Medical provider name and address
- Trip purpose (appointment type)
FAQ

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?
