MedRide Stops Walking Patients' Rides | Colorado Springs News

MedRide has abruptly halted routine non-emergency rides for Medicaid patients who can walk in El Paso County, citing funding cuts and rising costs — leaving hospitals, clinics, and patients scrambling. Once the go-to provider for medical transportation, MedRide’s exit creates a critical gap as other services struggle to fill the void, especially with the state’s new centralized Medicaid transport system still months away. Patients are already facing missed appointments, and community health centers are rushing to offer vouchers or redirect riders — but without MedRide’s scale, access is suddenly harder. The future of this service in El Paso remains uncertain. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
