Reliable, safe transportation removes one of the largest barriers to consistent PPEC attendance. For families across Miami-Dade and Broward, Medicaid-funded non-emergency medical transportation makes daily PPEC realistic — even for working parents and single-parent households without their own vehicle.
Florida Medicaid contracts with transportation brokers — including Access2Care, ModivCare (formerly LogistiCare), and Verida — through each managed care plan. When a child is authorized for PPEC, the family schedules recurring round-trip rides with their plan's broker. Vehicles range from sedans with booster seats to wheelchair-accessible vans and ambulances depending on medical acuity.
Children with active seizure disorders should ride in vehicles where the driver or attendant can recognize a seizure and follow the documented rescue plan. Blessed Pediatric Care provides each transportation provider with a copy of the seizure action plan and pickup/drop-off communication procedure, so any breakthrough event in transit is documented and the family and facility are notified.
For higher-acuity children — including those with tracheostomies, oxygen, or frequent generalized tonic-clonic seizures — Medicaid may authorize ambulance or stretcher transport rather than sedan service.
Daily transportation routes serve Miami Gardens, North Miami, Opa-Locka, Hialeah, Miami Lakes, Aventura, North Miami Beach, Doral, Hollywood, Hallandale Beach, Pembroke Pines, and Miramar. Average one-way ride times range from 10 to 35 minutes depending on the originating ZIP code and traffic.
Blessed Pediatric Care serves families across Miami-Dade and Broward County from our Miami Gardens facility at 4715 NW 157th St, including Miami, Hialeah, Opa-Locka, North Miami, Miami Lakes, Aventura, Doral, Hollywood, Hallandale Beach, Pembroke Pines and Miramar.
Once a child is admitted, our intake team provides families with the exact phone number for their managed care plan's transportation broker, the standing-order language to request recurring rides, and a contact at Blessed Pediatric Care for any service issue. Most families have transportation in place by the first week of attendance.
