Transportation - Emergency Cab Rides

Assistance with emergency cab rides is limited to the patient’s immediate needs. Each one-way trip or round trip requires prior authorization from NKF AZ. Social workers requesting this assistance for their patients will be responsible for coordinating the ride, once authorization is received from NKF AZ. NKF AZ will not reimburse for cab rides that have not been authorized.

Currently available only in the Phoenix area.
