Who you call depends on who pays for the trip.
Most Texas Medicaid members are in a health plan (STAR, STAR+PLUS, STAR Kids or STAR Health) and book rides through that plan: call the member services number on your plan ID card. Members not in a plan book through the state's Medical Transportation Program. Ask early, since plans usually want a few business days' notice.
Say what you need: walk-on, wheelchair or stretcher. Ask if a driver waits during the appointment or comes back. Get the total price before you book, including wait time and mileage. Ask if drivers help door to door, not only curb to curb.
Facility counts cover the area within 30 miles of downtown Houston.
3,062 treatment stations. Dialysis riders usually travel three times a week, the steadiest repeat work in NEMT.
Treatment shifts that start at 5 PM or later, so return trips run into the evening.
Acute care and critical access hospitals. Discharges and follow-up visits drive same-day requests.

Non-emergency medical transportation is a ride to or from medical care for people who have no other way to get there but do not need an ambulance. That includes dialysis, doctor visits, therapy and hospital discharges, by car, wheelchair van or stretcher van.
