    Modivcare takes the responsibility of providing transportation very seriously as members rely on our providers to access the non-emergency medical service they need. Based on the member's request, we have mailed the grievance letter.

    Driver did not show up. Called the company three times. Each time I was told they had contacted the driver and he was three minutes or less away. Nearly an hour after scheduled pick up time I was told driver had not been permitted to enter the property. Had to reschedule the doctor appointment and am now being told insurance coverage has "timed out.". It's their fault I had to reschedule and they are not willing to rectify their bad performance. I believe I was given incorrect information when I was told the driver was within minutes of arriving.

    Just yesterday, July 30, 2024, I created an account for modivcare.com -- or so I thought. I had programmed a trip for Friday and needed to program another for August 7, so I attempted to log into the site to change it. At first, I was operating on my smartphone, but I saw that on the smartphone, there was no way I could update my address; I relocated from that address on April 8, 2024 and the address I have on this complaint is my current address. I came home, tried to log in again, but then the site rejected me, claiming I had tried too many times to log in, so my account is now locked! It is not my fault that their mobile app does not allow address changes; that should not be the case. However, to use those attempts to log in to update an address that failed and lock me out of the account is unforgivable. I have to add that what I did on my smartphone was not a login but an attempt to update outdated information, but apparently, that counts against me as a failed login. The mobile app did not require a login, so there's no logic at all in the system if that is the case.

    I followed the procedure to become an approved driver for my minor child. I followed instructions per modivcare ***resentative on how to fill out drive log for reimbursement and where to send a copy of the log. On Tuesday May 14, 2024, I emailed my drive log to virginia.billingoperations@modivcare as instructed. I have never heard back from modivcare regarding this reimbursement log, nor have I been reimbursed. I called Modivcare to follow up on this matter multiple times over the week of July *****th, 2024 and was transferred around multiple times with no resolution. One ***resentative I spoke with was unable to obtain the standing order for speech therapy twice weekly. Another *** indicated the therapy office needed to call (spoke to therapy office and they indicated they have never had to call modivcare for any matter including a driver's reimbursement). No one had any idea how to help.

    Modivcare takes the responsibility of providing transportation very seriously as members rely on our providers to access the non-emergency medical service they need. Based on the complainant's mileage reimbursement concerns, we will work on a satisfactory solution with the complainant.

    It seems that Modivcare no longer reimburses trips for patients. Even though my health insurance company claims patients can be reimbursed for trips by driving themselves. Seems to be a untrue. I still haven't received my reimbursement for a past rude. I just don't see the point of having false promises or offers claimed by insurance like this. Recently, A specialist had faxed over my trip log to Modivcare. I'm not even sure that will get processed. It seems like a waste of effort to even try to get gas reimbursement by filing a trip log form. Yet all the companies working for Modivcare get paid. I know there has been issues with my postal mail for a few years. And have complained to postal managers about delay or returned mail.

    After investigation the members concerns, it appears as though there were discrepancies with his gas mileage reimbursement log. The address on the reimbursement form did not match what was on the driver profile set up for the member. Modivcare was able to update the address and process the reimbursement for date of service on 11/3/23. The payment of $5.74 will be processed on 4/19/24. The member has been informed to allow 7-10 business days for the check to process through the mail.

    We are supposed to able to schedule rides for medical appointments with ModivCare through ***************** Medi-Cal. We have been very unsuccessful at least 6 times. We have scheduled appointments well in advance and come the day of the appointment we call when they don't show up and are told the ride was cancelled. No calls or texts were sent to notify of the cancellation. We have missed crucial doctors appointments for my stepson. Most recently (1/24) we scheduled 2 weeks in advance, received the confirmation text after scheduling and received confirmation the day before the appointment. Day of I call after they aren't showing up and find out that they see the ride but it wasn't assigned to anyone. They never have answers as to why the rides are cancelled and we are not notified. We have even been given to the escalation department and still no resolution. How are we supposed to get my stepson to crucial appointments when we cannot rely on this company?

     Modivcare takes the privilege of providing transportation services to our members very seriously. All of our efforts are dedicated to providing the best transportation experience for members, and we are continuously improving upon these services.
     
    It is our practice to work with members on any transportation concerns. In this case, Modivcare had a conversation with the complainant regarding their concerns, and the next scheduled trips were monitored for success.

    I am rejecting this response because:

    We missed so many appointments because they didnt show up. I would schedule and get confirmation numbers and even get text verification the day before but come the day of there would be a no show. When I would call they told me that a confirmation number didnt mean that there was transportation.  We had to secure a transport van on our own so we wouldnt miss any more crucial doctors appointments.

    On 6-9-23, I submitted a claim to Modivcare because no driver showed up for 6-5-23 transportation reservation. I ended up taking an Uber to my appointment since the transport I arranged through the service failed. Over the next few months, I spoke to many agents and supervisors over the phone regarding the issue. I was told that claim reimbursement was processed 7-7-23. After that date, multiple Modivcare people confirmed claim was approved and in progress. After my last call to check status, 10-12-23, the agent recommended I fax a claim redetermination which I did. *** spent over 10 hours trying to get my Claim Amount Paid out of Pocket: $37.98.

    ModivCare has investigated the feedback and can confirm that a provider was unable to be secured for the trip, as such, the member secured their own ride. ModivCare has processed reimbursement for the requested amount, set to disburse on 2/9/24.

    My health care provider uses/Pays *********** Transportation as a benefit for its members to help us to get to doctors and or medical appointments etc. There have been times when *********** has not arrived or not shown up on time and we have had to drive ourselves and this allows us to get allows us to get reimbursed x** per mile for the use of are on vehicle which is allowed and agreed upon as we have the form signed by the doctor and sent to *********** for payment. I have faxed the form several times as I was supposed to and also attempted to e-mail the form as instructed but I believe I might have made a mistake since it was returned more than once. I spent a number of times on the phone trying to call and confirm the e-mail but had not luck.

    Business response

    ModivCare has looked into the feedback and can confirm that the mileage reimbursement trips were not set up after the providers failed to arrive. This has been corrected and the trips for 4/18/23 and 4/19/23 has been submitted for payment. The trip for 4/24/23 cannot be reimbursed as the member contacted ModivCare several hours after the scheduled return time to report that the provider never arrived and that they were charged a $35 no-show fee. ModivCare attempted to contact the facility at the time that the complaint was filed but could not reach anyone to confirm the no-show fee, this cannot be reimbursed for mileage as we have received conflicting information. Lastly, the trip from *** was created and was processed for reimbursement in December of 2023.

    I am rejecting this response because: There was much more to this complaint other than the one date that needs to be reimbursed. ******** needs to review all the dates properly since there were going to reimburse milage prior as per the contract agreement with Humana. This is not new to them at all, they need to follow the contract agreement which they are under in 2023 and 2024.

    Hi *******, attached are the dates that I did attempt to work with Motive at avoid their Deceptive Practices and breach of agreement with the Insurance Carrier. These are the names and dates as they are well aware as they provided the e-mail address of ************************************************************************************** which did get bounce back and the representee who tried to be helpful did not log the e-mail address on her end so the representees that I spoke with after was unable to give me the correct e-mail address. That customer service representee from *********** did file a complain against the customer service represtive at the other location for not providing the Six-digit codes to me back then which has caused all of this mess and hours spent by myself and Motive Care.      The Complaint ID: # ******** *( Not sure what this Complaint ID was to)
