Access Way to Go
Access Way to Go, at the provided address, refers to services offered through the Medical Assistance Transportation Program (MATP) and ACCESS Transportation Systems in Allegheny County, Pennsylvania. While not a senior care facility in the traditional sense, it provides crucial transportation services to seniors, individuals with disabilities, and Medicaid recipients for non-emergency medical appointments and other destinations. ACCESS Transportation Systems, established in 1979, is a coordinated, shared-ride paratransit service operating throughout Allegheny County, sponsored by Pittsburgh Regional Transit. The Medical Assistance Transportation Program (MATP), funded by the Pennsylvania Department of Human Services, specifically provides free transportation for eligible Medical Assistance (Medicaid) consumers to MA-covered healthcare services. This includes appointments with doctors, dentists, psychologists, psychiatrists, drug and alcohol treatment providers, pharmacies, hospitals for tests, and medical equipment suppliers. Services are designed to be the least costly and most appropriate for the rider's needs. The Allegheny County Department of Human Services (DHS) Office of Community Services, which oversees MATP, was established in 1997 and re-configured in 2018. The program offers various transportation modes, including public transportation tickets or reimbursement, mileage reimbursement for private vehicles, and free door-to-door service when medically necessary via shared-ride vans, taxis, or accessible vehicles. It aims to ensure that eligible residents of Allegheny County have access to necessary medical appointments. Although Medicare cards are not accepted for direct ACCESS fares, MATP can assist dual-eligible individuals (Medicare and Medicaid) in reaching Medicare-covered services if the provider accepts Medical Assistance.
