Transportation

Unfortunately, Medicare and most commercial insurance companies do not cover the costs of getting to a medical appointment, nor do they provide helping in arranging transportation. If you think your health plan may offer some transportation support, you can call the member’s services number for your health insurance plan to ask; the member’s services number is located on the back of your insurance card. 

Unlike Medicare and commercial plans, most Managed Medi-cal plans do offer support for transportation to medical appointments.

If you have a managed Medi-cal plan and require help with transportation, you will need to call Member Services found on their Managed Medi-Cal insurance card and request to set up transportation for medical appointment. Your health plan may offer you mileage and/or reimburse you for gas, arrange a car, arrange wheelchair van or another type of transportation depending on your needs.

You will need to call to arrange your ride or transportation at least 5 business days before your scheduled appointment.

You will need to tell your Medi-cal plan:

  • Your appointment date and time
  • The address of where you have your appointment (i.e., our clinic address)
  • Your neurologist’s or provider name
  • Where you need to be picked-up (i.e., your home address)

Other Transportation Options:

  • Public transportation (Bart, MUNI, etc.)
  • UCSF Shuttles (see above)
  • Taxi
  • Ride Share (examples: Uber, Lyft)
  • Paratransit (more information below)
  • Medivan (more information below)
  • Asking a friend or family member for a ride

Paratransit

If you have a disability that prevents you from using the Public Transit system, you may be eligible for your county's Paratransit.  Each county will have their own Paratransit system. Applications take 21 days to process.
