Medi-Cal offers transportation to and from appointments for services covered by Medi-Cal. This includes transportation to medical, dental, mental health, or substance use disorder appointments, and to pick up prescriptions and medical supplies.

There are two types of transportation for appointments:

  • Nonemergency medical transportation (NEMT) is transportation by ambulance, wheelchair van, or litter van for those who cannot use public or private transportation.
  • Nonmedical transportation (NMT) is transportation by private or public vehicle for people who do not have another way to get to their appointment.

Medi-Cal recipients with Partnership HealthPlan of California (PHC) can contact PHC for transportation services. PHC is the managed care provider for both Nevada and Placer Counties.
