Need a ride to your doctor or specialist? rideQSM could be your ticket!
BCBSRI has teamed up with the Blue Cross Blue Shield Institute’s rideQ program to provide transportation services to help eligible members get to and from their doctor’s appointments.
With your BCBSRI plan, you get 24 one-way trips to or from your primary care provider and specialists for $0. Each trip has a 20-mile limit (but, hey, it’s Rhode Island). Any trip over 20 miles will count as additional trips and will be subtracted from your 24-trip total. Rides are available within our service area for all of our Medicare Advantage plans.
- Standard “curb-to-curb” rides are available for members who do not need specialized transportation or help getting to and from the car. Rides can be scheduled on demand or up to six (6) months in advance.
- Members who need specialized transportation in wheelchair accessible vehicles (WAV), or when door-to-door help is needed, must request transportation at least 72 hours in advance. Advance notice for WAV may vary based on available WAV provider(s) in your area.
Get started
Have your BCBSRI Member ID card and your phone number handy.
The Blue Cross Blue Shield InstituteSM Service Center (ISC) at 1-888-510-BCBS (2227). A representative will walk you through how the service works and can help set up your next ride.
Follow the steps on the sign-up link—you’ll need to answer a few simple questions to set up an account, agree to the terms and conditions, and then you can begin booking rides to your doctor!
Blue Cross & Blue Shield of Rhode Island and the Blue Cross Blue Shield Institute are independent licensees of the Blue Cross and Blue Shield Association. Rides available within our service area for HMO & HMO-POS plans only. PPO products also include an out-of-network transportation benefit. Reference your Evidence of Coverage (EOC) for more information. Any trip over 20 miles will count as additional trips and will be subtracted from your 24 trip total. Rides are provided to your PCP and specialists only.
