The public option: NICE Able-Ride
- NICE Able-Ride, Nassau's paratransit service, does not serve Lido Beach.
- Run by Nassau Inter-County Express (NICE). Service area: trips must start and end within 3/4 mile of a NICE bus route that is running at that time.
- $4.00 each way; booked up to 7 days ahead, by phone 8:30 AM to 5 PM daily at 516-228-4000; 30-minute pickup window, shared ride.
- Eligibility needs ADA certification first: apply with a two-part form, one part completed by a licensed health care professional, plus a passport-style photo; NICE decides within 21 days of a complete application.
- Crossing the county line: Able-Ride now drives straight into parts of western Suffolk (the Farmingdale area east of the county line, Amityville, and Huntington along Jericho Turnpike) and Queens (Jamaica, Flushing and Far Rockaway) that sit near NICE routes; trips beyond those areas transfer to SCAT in Farmingdale or at the Walt Whitman Mall, or to Access-A-Ride at Green Acres Mall or New Hyde Park, and riders pay both fares.
DachiPlus picks up at your door at the time you book, rides are not shared, and we cross county lines with no transfer. Medicaid members book through MAS at no cost and can ask for DachiPlus by name.

FAQ
Common questions about NEMT in Lido Beach
How do I book Medicaid medical transportation in Suffolk or Nassau County?
+
In New York, Medicaid transportation is coordinated through Medical Answering Services (MAS) at 1-844-666-6270. You call MAS at least 72 hours before your appointment, provide your Medicaid ID, appointment information, and any mobility needs, 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. When MAS assigns the trip to us, we dispatch a vehicle.
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 kinds of wheelchairs can you accommodate?
+
We transport patients who use standard manual wheelchairs and can transfer to a vehicle seat — the wheelchair is folded and stored in the trunk. Patients who use power wheelchairs or cannot transfer out of their wheelchair should call us; we can help coordinate through Medicaid ambulette services or a licensed wheelchair-accessible van provider.
What areas does DachiPlus serve?
+
DachiPlus serves all of Suffolk County and Nassau County on Long Island. We also provide long-distance medical transportation from Long Island to specialty facilities throughout New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut.
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.
