Yes. TBI patients have specific transport needs — sensitivity to noise and light, unpredictable fatigue, communication difficulties, and the need for a calm, familiar environment. DachiPlus assigns consistent drivers for TBI patients, briefs them on behavioral patterns provided by the family or care team, and allows extra time for boarding and exit. ## How is TBI transportation billed — no-fault or workers comp? TBI resulting from a motor vehicle accident is billed through NY no-fault (PIP) insurance using NF-3 forms. Work-related TBI is billed through workers' compensation. We work directly with attorneys, adjustors, and case managers to handle billing — there is typically no upfront cost to the patient. Medicaid is also accepted for TBI patients who are eligible. ## Helpful guides ## 10 Questions to Ask Before Booking Medical Transportation on Long Island ## Airport Wheelchair Tipping & Ambulette Guide ## Ambulette Service Near Me for Seniors ## Ambulette Service on Long Island — What It Is & Who Needs It For no-fault auto accident billing: [No-Fault Auto Accident Transportation →](https://dachiplus.com/services/no-fault-auto-transportation/) For post-stroke and neuro rehab patients: [Post-Stroke & Rehab Patient Guide →](https://dachiplus.com/who-we-serve/post-stroke-rehab/) Full accident & injury guide: [Accident & Injury Patient Guide →](https://dachiplus.com/who-we-serve/accident-injury/)
