The HPSM Ride Benefit is only for health related trips — not rides to school, the grocery store or government offices.

Follow these Ride Quick Tips when you book your ride:

  1. Call American Logistics (AL) at least two business days before your appointment.
    • Medi-Cal members: 1-844-856-4389
    • CareAdvantage members1-877-356-1080
  2. Be ready with your information:
    • Your HPSM member ID and phone number
    • Date and time of your appointment
    • Pickup address and where you’re going
  3. If you asked for a return ride, call AL right after your visit. A driver will pick you up and drive you home.
