Free or low-cost rides to doctor appointments and medical facilities.
Transportation benefits provide non-emergency medical transportation — rides to and from doctor appointments, specialist visits, pharmacies, and dialysis centers. This is separate from ambulance coverage.
Plans with transportation benefits typically provide a set number of one-way trips per year (commonly 24–48 trips) through ride networks like Lyft, Uber Health, or contracted transportation services. Rides must be to approved medical destinations.
This benefit is especially valuable for Medicare beneficiaries in rural NC and SC counties where public transit is limited.
