Medicare & Medicare Advantage Transportation in San Diego County

Original Medicare does not usually cover routine non-emergency medical transportation. Medicare Advantage (Part C) plans, however, frequently include a supplemental transportation benefit - a limited number of covered rides per year, often to plan-approved destinations.

How it works

DayLight works with multiple Medicare Advantage plans across San Diego County, including plans that contract transportation through rideshare, broker, and direct-NEMT networks. If your MA plan includes transportation, we can help identify the covered ride type, remaining trip allowance, and how to schedule. For riders who need wheelchair, gurney, or stretcher service, we match the right vehicle level.

It depends on the plan. Call your plan or tell us your plan name and we will help look it up.
