EL PASO COUNTY, COLORADO, JUL 14 – MedRide will continue Medicaid transportation under strict compliance rules after HCPF accused it of abuse and sought contract termination, ensuring safe and affordable rides for members.
- MedRide, Colorado’s leading Medicaid transportation company, resolved its dispute with state authorities as of June 10, 2025, enabling it to continue operating non-emergency medical transportation services under revised compliance requirements.
