MedRide granted temporary resumption of medical transport
(COLORADO) — A Denver District Court has granted a Temporary Restraining Order (TRO) filed by MedRide, allowing MedRide to resume providing Non-Emergent Medical Transportation (NEMT) services.
The TRO became effective on Feb. 20 and allows MedRide to resume NEMT services for a 14-day period until March 6.
MedRide shared a statement on its website, 'We are truly relieved to announce that a state court judge has granted MedRide the ability to resume service for all Health First Colorado patients, starting on February 21.'
Andy Boian for MedRide said the company is confident it will continue service past March 6, filing with the court to continue past the 14-day deadline or get an extension of the TRO.
Colorado Department of Health Care Policy & Financing (HCPF) is advising anyone who needs NEMT services after March 6 to be aware the TRO does not authorize MedRide to provide services after that date. If you need NEMT services after March 6, HCPF has a list of all NEMT providers on its website.
Those in need of services can contact (800) 221-3943 to get help finding a NEMT provider in their area as well.
