The Biggest Secret in New York Medicaid: Free Rides
Most people in NYC have no idea that the Medicaid plan they’re already paying for gives them access to free medical transportation. We’re talking:
- Doctor appointments
- Specialist visits
- Physical therapy
- Dialysis
- Clinics
- Imaging centers
- Mental health appointments
- Hospital follow-ups
- And the crazy part?
A lot of members never use the service because nobody ever tells them how.
Metro Luxury is changing that.
Why So Many Members Don’t Know About MAS Rides
There are three reasons:
1. No one explains it clearly
People get approved for Medicaid, but the transportation part gets overlooked.
2. The MAS system can feel complicated
It’s not hard, but it feels hard if nobody guides you.
3. Members think it costs money
It doesn’t.
It’s completely covered.
So thousands of NYC families pay for Ubers or skip appointments when they could be using their free benefit.
How Metro Luxury Helps Members Understand Their Benefits
We take the time to explain, in English or Spanish:
- What MAS is
- Who qualifies
- How to schedule rides
- How to confirm their trip
- What to expect when the driver arrives
- We don’t rush through the information.
- We want members to feel confident using their benefits.
- Because once they understand how it works, their whole healthcare routine becomes easier.
What MAS Covers (And What It Doesn’t)
MAS Covers:
- Rides to medical appointments
- Rides home from the appointment
- Wait-and-return trips
- Long-distance medical visits
- Specialist referrals
- Recurring treatments
MAS Does Not Cover
- Grocery trips
- Visiting family
- Social events
- Errands
Metro Luxury also does not provide wheelchair transportation or private-pay trips.
We focus strictly on eligible Medicaid rides so members always get consistent service.
