Medicaid Transportation in Philadelphia

Medicaid Transportation Philadelphia services help eligible patients attend medical appointments safely and on time. For individuals without reliable transportation, professional Non-Emergency Medical Transportation (NEMT) becomes an essential part of accessing healthcare.
