Book Transportation
To be reimbursed for a trip, transportation needs to be scheduled at least 2 business days before the member’s appointment to ensure eligibility. The booking phone number is 855-478-7350.
The Connecticut Department of Social Services (DSS) has partnered with Veyo to provide HUSKY Health members with another way to get to and from their medical appointments – using their own vehicle or in a vehicle driven by a friend or family member. Veyo provides compensation to drivers who give HUSKY Health members a ride to their eligible healthcare appointments. Members can also receive compensation when driving themselves to an appointment. This is called a “mileage reimbursement.”
Trips will be paid at the level of $0.54 per mile. The total amount paid is calculated based on the most direct route from the member’s pickup location to the healthcare facility and back. The route is generated using Veyo’s mapping software. Payments to drivers will be distributed electronically (unless the driver specifies otherwise).
