Can the patient traveler get the funds up front to cover the lodging/travel expenses directly from their Medicaid or Insurance Case Worker?
On occasion, Medicaid offices may provide vouchers to offset the expense of gasoline used for approved travel to and from the medical center. Upon approval, Medicaid will reimburse for lodging expenses once the patient traveler provides authenticated receipts typically occurring after treatment is complete. Then and only then, will they reimburse the Medicaid recipient for the costs up to the approved and specified amount. Like Medicaid, private health insurance only offers direct patient reimbursement with no funds provided to ease the up-front expense.
