Ohio Medicaid must ensure necessary transportation for Medicaid-eligible people traveling to and from covered health care, including pediatric cancer appointments. Depending on the member's plan and county, assistance may be a scheduled cab or van, public-transit fare, fuel assistance, mileage reimbursement, necessary travel-expense reimbursement, or transportation for a parent accompanying a child under 21. Families should call their Medicaid managed-care plan or local County Department of Job and Family Services; the current managed-care guide says routine trips generally require 48 hours or two business days' notice.
Provides the family assistance described in the organization's verified program pages.
