KCA Transportation

KelseyCare Advantage offers free Medicare Transportation Benefits

We understand that transportation to and from medical appointments is an important benefit for many members.

When you schedule your ride, you will get a text, email, or call confirming that your ride has been booked. You’ll receive a second notification that your ride is on the way. When your appointment is over and you’re ready to be picked up, call 713-KCA-RIDE or 855-931-7433. Hours of operation are Monday through Friday 6 a.m. to 7 p.m.

This free service is included for KelseyCare Advantage members who are enrolled in our Honor, Classic, Freedom, Signature, or Secure plans.

Two Types of Transportation

  • Standard Transportation is for members who need rides to and from medical appointments, but who are able to walk without assistance. When you contact KelseyCare Advantage to schedule the ride, a Lyft driver will pick you up.
  • NEMT Transportation is for members who need a ride with additional accommodations, such as a vehicle that’s wheelchair accessible. When you contact KelseyCare Advantage Member Services to schedule the ride, transportation will be provided by NEMT (Non-Emergency Medical Transportation).

Schedule a Ride

To request transportation, simply call 713-KCA-RIDE or 855-931-7433 and have the following information ready:

When your appointment is over and you’re ready to be picked up, call 713-KCA-RIDE or 855-931-7433. Hours of operation are Monday through Friday 6 a.m. to 7 p.m. We will help you schedule your ride home.
