For Transportation Companies
Getting Medicaid rides is hard. Prior authorizations, billing codes, claim denials, reimbursement delays. Most transportation companies leave millions on the table because the process is too complicated.
We solve that. Partner with Dream Care Rides and we handle client acquisition, PA processing, dispatching, and Medicaid billing. You focus on what you do best — providing reliable transport.
Why Partner With Us
We built the infrastructure so you do not have to. Here is what you get when you join our network.
We market to Medicaid members, handle intake, and build the recurring ride pipeline. You get consistent trip volume without spending on marketing or sales.
We navigate Transdev (FFS) and MCO authorization systems so you do not have to. Every trip you drive has a valid PA before you dispatch.
We submit claims to Medicaid, track reimbursements, handle denials and resubmissions. You focus on driving, we focus on getting you paid.
Schedule rides, track trips, and manage your fleet through our dispatch platform. Real-time GPS tracking, automated reminders, and digital trip logs.
We ensure all documentation meets Illinois Medicaid requirements — PCS forms, trip logs, driver credentials, and vehicle records. Audit-ready at all times.
You remain an independent transportation company. We are your Medicaid billing and client acquisition partner, not your employer. Drive when you want, where you want.
How It Works
Fill out the application below. We verify your vehicle standards, driver qualifications, insurance, and licensing. Approval takes 5-7 business days.
We train you on our dispatch platform, Medicaid documentation requirements, trip logging, and member interaction standards. This ensures clean billing from day one.
We assign recurring Medicaid rides based on your location, vehicle type, and availability. Trips come through our platform with PA numbers already attached.
Complete the trip, log pickup/dropoff times, capture member signature, and submit through the platform. Clean documentation means fast payment.
We submit claims to Medicaid on your behalf and remit payment to you after reimbursement. Transparent reporting shows every claim, its status, and your earnings.
