The safety of our members and transportation providers is always our top priority.
If a member has a confirmed case of Coronavirus (COVID-19), is exhibiting flu-like symptoms, or has recently been in contact with someone who has been diagnosed with COVID-19, and is using transportation for a non-urgent need, please ask the member to call our “health plan hotline” at 1-858-905-5695 which will redirect them to the nurse’s line of their health plan.
Members who believe they may have COVID-19, or are experiencing flu-like symptoms, should not use NEMT. If the member is seeking treatment for COVID-19, please advise the member to call 911 if they need urgent or emergent treatment.
