Getting a ride

You can get rides to medical appointments at no cost to you. Tufts Health One Care covers transportation for medical reasons, including rides to and from medical appointments, urgent care centers and more.

We also cover transportation to community services and activities that help you maintain your independence when these needs are included in your care plan.

How to schedule a ride

We work with Coordinated Transportation Solutions (CTS) to offer you covered rides. You can arrange for a ride from CTS in three ways:

  1. Call CTS directly at 1-833-242-3331
  2. Call us at 1-855-393-3154 (TTY: 711) and select the prompts for transportation
  3. Call your Cityblock care team at 1-833-904-2273 and ask for help scheduling a ride

When you make a reservation:

  • Be sure to ask about expected pick-up and wait times
  • Call to schedule a ride 48 hours in advance
  • You may schedule a same-day ride in some situations. For example:
    • Follow-up appointments
    • Hospital admissions or discharges
    • Outpatient surgery
    • Appointments for new medical conditions
    • Visits to urgent care centers
  • CTS will remind you of your scheduled ride the night before
  • A CTS driver will call you when he or she arrives to pick you up
