Transportation: Charter Health Care Transportation

Rating 2 out of 5 stars

Charter Health Transportation

If you are insured through Charter Health, you can get door-to-door transportation for medical appointments and subsidized Metro fares.  Charter requires that rides are scheduled 48 hours in advance. Call 202-408-4728 or toll free at 1-800-375-3485 to schedule your ride.

Website: Here is info about their transportation services. Here is a pdf document that has their contact information for transportation services. Here is their main page.

Criteria: Charter Health insurance carrier, DC resident.

Geography: DC

Tricks of the Trade:
  1. To make a reservation call the above number Monday - Friday from 7 am to 6 pm.
  2. They ask for 2 days advanced notice but are usually able to schedule with 24 hours notice.
  3. When they used to provide bus tokens, they would mail them to patients.  I'm not sure if they mail metro cards to patients now.  If you know, please leave a comment.

Please leave a comment.  How well does this service get your patients to and from their medical appointments?  What do your patients say about their experience?  How would you rate this resource?
