Mileage Reimbursement Program

The Ride Line Transportation Reimbursement Program offers a travel allowance to eligible Oregon Health Plan Plus (OHP+) and InterCommunity Health Network (IHN) clients for certain travel expenses while traveling to and from a covered Medicaid medical service. Clients requesting transportation reimbursement typically have access to a working vehicle or know a friend or family member that is available to drive them to their medical appointment.

All transportation reimbursement requests must be approved before your appointment through Ride Line. Trips not prior approved are not eligible for reimbursement.

Oregon’s Transportation reimbursement rules are defined under OAR (Oregon Administrative Rules) section(s) 410-136-0800 through 410-136-0820 and in the Division 136 “Medical Transportation Rule Book” available through your case worker or online here.
