## Three promises on every ride

## Your return ride is never an afterthought

Round trips are booked as two confirmed legs: your return pickup is scheduled before we ever pick you up. Nobody gets stranded at the clinic waiting for a ride back.

## Dispatch you can actually reach

Call or text (516) 754-7777 and a dispatcher answers, Monday through Saturday, 6 AM to 8 PM. Same line before, during, and after your trip; running late or plans changed, you'll always reach a person.

## The price is set before you ride

Medicaid trips through MAS cost you $0. Private-pay rates come from a published rate card and are quoted upfront: [estimate your fare](https://dachiplus.com/cost/estimator/) before you even call.

## How should patients and caregivers prepare?

A little preparation makes every trip smoother. Here's what to have ready when you book or on the day of your ride.

- ✓ Provide the adult day program name, address, and daily start/end times at booking
- ✓ For Medicaid: contact MAS at 1-844-666-6270 to establish a standing order for recurring daily trips
- ✓ Let us know about any mobility devices your family member uses each day
- ✓ Provide emergency contact and health/behavioral notes the driver should be aware of
- ✓ Confirm pick-up time at home — allow 30–45 minutes before the program start time
- ✓ Notify us in advance when the participant will not attend — standing orders can be paused by day
