Wait-and-Return Medical Transportation Service

Rydei offers wait-and-return medical transportation — your driver picks you up at home, takes you to your appointment, waits while you're seen, and brings you back when you're done. This is especially valuable for elderly patients, post-surgery recovery, and patients who cannot drive themselves. The wait fee is $15/hour.

Why Rydei Is Better Than Medicaid Transport for Putnam County Residents

Medicaid non-emergency medical transportation (NEMT) in Florida is often unreliable — late pickups, shared rides with multiple stops, and long wait times. Rydei provides private, direct medical transportation with a dedicated driver. You are the only passenger, and we go directly to your destination.
