What Are Some Transportation Solutions for Cancer Patients?
Several solutions can help mitigate these challenges:
Non-Emergency Medical Transportation (NEMT): Many insurance plans, including Medicaid, offer coverage for NEMT services, which provide rides to medical appointments. Volunteer Driver Programs: Organizations like the American Cancer Society offer programs where volunteers drive patients to and from their appointments. Public Transportation Assistance: Some cities provide free or discounted transit passes for cancer patients. Ride-Sharing Services: Companies like Uber and Lyft have partnered with health organizations to offer discounted rides for medical purposes.
