When your appointment is finished, you should call the member services line to request a ride to pick you up. The transportation provider will be called. To help decrease the total wait time, please call as soon as you know you are ready to be picked up. Please note, it may take up to sixty minutes (60) for your ride to arrive.

If your doctor needs you to be seen on the same day or the next day but it is not an emergency (911), this is called an urgent trip request. We understand that sometimes this happens at the last minute and we will work with your doctor’s office to provide you the fastest possible service. Transdev will check to make sure that the doctor’s office has an appointment scheduled with you before scheduling your ride to make sure that nothing has changed.

We understand sometimes there may be less than 48 hours’ notice when scheduling medical transportation. Transdev is dedicated to supporting the medical community. We will work with you and your doctor when you have an “urgent trip”.

The type of transportation service needed to transport a member will be based on their physical need. A member can travel by one of several levels. See below:

• Mass Transit – If available and appropriate for the physical condition of the member. We will provide monthly Bus passes to all applicable. This is for members who are able to walk 3/4 of a mile to the bus stop from their home or medical appointment without an escort. Transdev’s system can check if this is the right type of service. If members do not want to use this service, they must get a “Medical Necessity Form” from their doctor and their doctor must send this form to AlohaCare for approval. Until Transdev receives the approved “Medical Necessity Form”, members are required to take “The Bus”.
• Handi Van – Members who are eligible can be sent Handi Van coupons for all trips scheduled through Transdev. Members must let the Transdev agent know that they are eligible to ride the “Handi Van”. Transdev will work with members and mail them the right amount of passes.
• Mileage Reimbursement – A friend or family member can transport the eligible AlohaCare member to their medical appointment. Drivers who are eligible can be paid 50 cents per mile. Drivers must have current Insurance, registration, driver’s license and W-9 form.
• Ambulatory – This is a member who is able to walk on their own or with the assistance of a walker or cane and able to be picked up and dropped off at the curb. This is curb-to- curb transportation.
• Ambulatory Door to Door (ADD) – This service requires a medical necessity form to be on file. The medical necessity form is completed by a medical professional who has determined the medical need for ADD level of service. Drivers will assist members from the door of their home to the door of the medical office. The driver is NOT allowed to go through the door, ride in an elevator, or assist members through several doors that lead to the check in desk, etc.
• Wheelchair – Available to members confined to a wheelchair. This may be due to physical weakness or mental impairment. These members must travel with their own wheelchair. If help is needed, the member will need an escort 21 years or older. Transdev does not provide escort services.
• Stretcher – Available to members who have a physical weakness. These members cannot transport in a wheelchair or are bedridden. These members do not need any monitoring during transport.
  • Inter-Island transports – Prior authorization from AlohaCare is required for Inter-Island transports.
  • Non-Emergent ALS/BLS Ambulance – Only available when a facility or hospital requests this level of service
