How to Apply for a Medicaid Transportation Provider in Florida
- 1). Determine whether medical transportation is covered under your specific Medicaid policy by contacting the Florida Agency for Health Care Administration at 888-419-3456.
- 2). Contact the Commission for the Transportation Disadvantaged at (866) 374-3368, Ext. 5700, or consult CTD's listing of transportation coordinators (see Resources) to obtain a list of medical transportation providers in your community. Make sure to inform the office of any special needs you have, including needing a wheelchair lift.
- 3). Enroll in services with the medical transportation company and provide any necessary information, including your Medicaid number, so that the provider can verify your eligibility.
- 4). Contact the medical transportation company at least 72 hours in advance to schedule an appointment. You must be ready to leave 60 minutes before your scheduled appointment or earlier if a longer transportation time is expected. If you are not ready at this time, the transportation provider is not obligated to wait more than 10 minutes at your pickup location.
