Transportation

Transportation services are offered to eligible clients using Agency, private and clientowned vehicles, providing the transportation services are specified in the Care Plan and other specific criteria are met.

If you ask an Agency Representative to transport you in a vehicle that you own or provide, you must show proof of valid vehicle insurance prior to being transported.In addition, the Agency Representative will observe the vehicle to ensure its safety equipment is in good operating condition. If the vehicle appears to not be in good working condition, the Agency Representative will refuse to drive it.

Prior to being transported, you must ensure that a copy of your Health Insurance information is with you in the vehicle, in case of an emergency. In addition to our regular service fees, you will be charged a mileage rate for transportation services when a vehicle provided by the Agency or an Agency Representative is used.
