El Paso County ambulatory Medicaid transportation service change

  • Effective August 25, 2026: MedRide will discontinue ambulatory Medicaid transportation services in El Paso County.
  • Medicaid wheelchair transportation in El Paso County will continue as scheduled.
  • Ambulatory Medicaid service continues in all other Colorado counties MedRide currently serves.
  • Our call center remains open for scheduling, questions, and trip changes.
  • This change follows ongoing statewide Medicaid reimbursement rate reductions and rising transportation costs.
  • This is not a decision MedRide has taken lightly.
