ReadyRide will try to arrange for same-day rides.  But we can only do this when:

• There is a provider available and;
• We can receive the authorization from AllCare.

Drivers may already be booked  with other appointments for the day. ReadyRide makes urgent needs their highest priority.  If the ride is not urgent, members should schedule rides in advance whenever they can.

ReadyRide is unable to transport you to an emergency facility. If you have an emergency call 9-1-1.

ReadyRide provides non-emergency transportation to AllCare members who live in Curry, Douglas, Jackson, and Josephine counties. Rides provided outside of these four counties are considered “long-distance rides.”

We will tailor your ride to meet your needs. When requested, your driver may come to the door of your home or the main entrance of the clinic to let you know they are ready to transport you.

Drivers may also help you through the door into the main entrance, lobbies of clinics, or into your home.

Drivers are not able to help you into medical rooms or other areas of the building. If you need assistance you will need to bring your own attendant. Stretcher rides and hospital discharges are an exemption to this rule.

If you use a wheelchair you may ask your driver to assist you up and down curbs.

Please bring a helper if you are unable to travel alone. Since space on the vehicles is limited we cannot guarantee a seat for other guests including minor children.
