Services

The Medical Assistance Transportation Grant Program is funded by the State of Maryland and coordinates transportation services for Medical Assistance recipients who reside in Baltimore County, and who are in need of transportation to access medically necessary services. This program provides "last resort" transportation for ambulatory, wheelchair, and stretcher-bound recipients who have no other means available of transport to get to and from medical appointments. 

Schedule Transportation Services

Call the Medical Assistance Transportation Program at 410-887-2828, Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 3:45 p.m., except on holidays to schedule transportation to need medical services.

Eligibility

This service is available to Baltimore County residents with eligible, non-restrictive Medical Assistance (Medicaid) to medical services that are covered by Medical Assistance and for which there is no other means of transportation.

The Maryland State Department of Health and Mental Hygiene requires medical certification for all recipients. A doctor must certify that the patient is unable to use public transportation due to a specific medical condition. This form must be complete and signed by the patient's doctor. Once the form is completed and signed, fax, or mail it to the Baltimore County Department of Health.
