5 Transportation Gaps That Affect Member Access to Care
These are common transportation challenges MCOs, health plans, and care coordination teams face when member rides are not reliable, properly matched, or clearly coordinated.
Missed Rides Create Missed Care
When transportation is late, unavailable, or not properly scheduled, members can miss important appointments, treatments, follow-ups, and care visits. These missed trips create more work for care teams and can delay the member's care plan.
› Missed rides - missed appointments
Recurring Care Requires Consistent Transportation
Members who need dialysis, therapy, rehab, wound care, or follow-up visits often rely on repeat rides every week. If transportation is inconsistent, the member's routine care can become harder to maintain.
› Missed rides - missed appointments
Mobility Needs Are Often Underserved
Seniors, wheelchair users, disabled riders, and medically dependent members may need more than curbside pickup. Without the right support level, the ride can feel unsafe, stressful, or incomplete.
› Wheelchair and assisted rides require planning
Poor Communication Creates Member Frustration
Members, families, facilities, and care coordinators need clear ride details. When pickup times, driver expectations, or destination instructions are unclear, confusion increases and the member experience suffers.
› Missed rides - missed appointments
