Transportation Services

Carolina Complete Health can arrange and pay for member transportation to and from appointments for Medicaid-covered services. 

How to Get Non-Emergency Transportation: 

Call ModivCare, Carolina Complete Health's transportation provider, up to 30 days before the appointment to arrange for round-trip transportation. There is no limit to the number of trips during the year between medical appointments, healthcare facilities, or pharmacies.

ModivCare Support Numbers:

How far in advance can Members make reservations?

• Transportation must be scheduled at least 2 business days before but not more than thirty 30 days before the date of the appointment.
• Members may schedule recurring “subscription” trips (e.g. for dialysis) 3 months in advance

Urgent Appointments:

• Urgent trips for covered services may be scheduled with less than 2 days’ notice. Examples include:
  • Sick visits
