How Rides Are Prioritized

Rides are scheduled by medical priority. Prioritization is given to higher-medical-needs patients and may be limited by driver availability.

Urgent

Same day or next day

Patients with an urgent need that requires attention (i.e., medical surgery) and are medically stable per their provider.

Acute

At least 48 hours notice

Minor acute care, and follow-up appointments. These are prioritized on a case-by-case basis depending on patient needs and availability.

Routine

At least one week notice

Preventive visits, well-checks, and non-urgent appointments. Examples would be "Same Day" appointments that stand as non-emergent or acute. Please request rides at least one week in advance.
