Medical Cal Provider (MCP) program

Are you eligible for Medi-Cal and enrolled in a Medi-Cal Managed Care Program? Due to a recent change in the Medi-Cal transportation program, did you know that you may be eligible to receive free transportation services with no out of pocket costs? That is, instead of using MTS Access and paying the Access fate (minimum $4.50 each way), you may be able to schedule and receive your transportation through your Managed Care Provider (MCP) at no cost to you. Trips through you MCP may even be an individualized trip instead of the shared ride trip on Access.

If you are a Medi-Cal recipient, we encourage you to contact your MCP to see if you qualify for this alternative transportation service. You may contact the following MCPs a for further information:
