These appointments often run 2–6 hours, and patients may feel fatigued or unwell afterward. DachiPlus provides reliable scheduled transport to and from all major infusion centers across Long Island, with awareness of the extended appointment time and post-infusion fatigue.

## 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 infusion center name, address, and your appointment time at booking
- ✓ Let us know the expected infusion duration — we coordinate return pickup with the center
- ✓ For Medicaid: call MAS at 1-844-666-6270 at least 72 hours before your first appointment
- ✓ Bring your insurance card and any pre-authorization documentation
- ✓ Tell us if you typically have reactions that require extended observation time
- ✓ Set up a recurring schedule if your infusions run on a regular cycle (e.g., every 4 or 8 weeks)

## Infusion Transport — common questions

## Does Medicaid cover transportation to infusion therapy?

Yes, if the infusion appointment is at a Medicaid-covered facility and you are an eligible Medicaid member. Call MAS at 1-844-666-6270 at least 72 hours before your appointment. For biologic infusions on recurring cycles (every 4 or 8 weeks), ask MAS to set up a recurring authorization.

## How do you coordinate return pickup after infusion therapy?

Infusion sessions vary in length — some run 2 hours, others 6+ hours. We coordinate return pickup directly with the infusion center staff. When you call to schedule, give us the facility name and expected infusion duration. On the day, the clinic notifies us when you are finishing and we dispatch for your return trip. No waiting at the curb.
