I'm thinking about that. Hopefully, I will be able to go to Junior ?Blind in 
late October for their telephone customer service class & then et a good job 
with even better benefits.

The open enrollment period for Medicare Advantage coverage begins around
October 15. you may want to check out the options for it in your area as the
coverage is better and you don't have to pay the automatic 20% copay that
you do on traditional Medicare. I have been very satisfied with my coverage
on it since I signed up for it a few years ago through Humana and there
might be a better choice of available doctors as they get paid better
through the Medicare Advantage and I have not had any extra premiums
deducted.

The irony of it all is that who needs medical transport vans more than
disable people, most of them are on Medicare. I have called them about this,
& of course it falls on deaf ears. Thank you for all of the help on this.

No it doesn't. if you were part of a Medicare Advantage program it would
most likely cover it.

I'm on Medicare. Medicare doesn't cover medical transport vihicles. Thanks
for the suggestion.

Medical facilities become very concerned about liability after a procedure.
They do this for all of their patients, not just blind ones. One option
would be to find out whether your insurance including MediCal covers use of
a medical transport to get you home. In many cases this is covered by
MediCal or whatever managed care plan you have.

Good evening all: Tomorrow afternoon I am having an eppadurral done @ a
surgery center here in Victorville. When they asked me if someone will be
driving me home, I told them that I would be using pera transit. They told
me that since pera transit is not a medical transport system, they won’t
allow that. The center is 2 miles away, & a taxi costs $20 to go 2 miles. Is
there anyway around this issue?
