After a cardiac event — heart attack, bypass surgery, stent placement, or heart failure hospitalization — cardiac rehabilitation is one of the most effective interventions for long-term recovery. Phase II and Phase III cardiac rehab programs typically run 2–3 sessions per week for 12–36 sessions. Missing sessions delays recovery. DachiPlus provides standing-order recurring transport to all major cardiac rehab programs across Long Island, with drivers who understand post-cardiac mobility limitations and pacing needs.

## 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 cardiac rehab facility name, address, and session schedule at booking
- ✓ For Medicaid: call MAS at 1-844-666-6270 to set up a standing order — allow 72 hours lead time
- ✓ Confirm whether you have any lifting or activity restrictions that affect boarding
- ✓ Let us know if you use nitroglycerine or have any emergency protocols the driver should know
- ✓ Bring your cardiac rehab appointment card or schedule for reference
