Healthcare Workers Can Use the Lyft Pass for Healthcare
Elena Rahman — April 21, 2021 — Tech
Lyft recently introduced the Lyft Pass for Healthcare in reaction to its users' growing needs during the pandemic. The Lyft Pass for Healthcare helps passengers avoid the arduous process of booking transportation to and from their healthcare providers.
While the pandemic's stay-at-home order has reduced ride-hailing demands, it has increased the traffic to and from healthcare centers for many. The Lyft Pass for Healthcare streamlines this process through health plans and social organizations like Medicaid and Medicare.
The Lyft Pass for Healthcare lets healthcare providers share a Lyft Pass for Healthcare with eligible patients via phone number, code, or a direct link. The ride organizer can use the Lyft Pass for Healthcare feature to set maximum costs for each ride and monitor usage.
