Transportation

Transportation will be provided on a limited basis to verified Indians only. The individual must be a registered active user of agency services or in the process of being registered for agency services. Patients are required to wear seat belts and use safety seats for children. Children under the age of 18 must be accompanied by a parent or authorized guardian.

No smoking or consumption of alcohol or drugs will be tolerated in an agency vehicle. No intoxicated person shall be transported. Also, no food or beverages are allowed in the vehicles for trips less than one (1) hour in duration, unless medically necessary. No one will be transported who is carrying any type of firearm, loaded or unloaded, or any type of self-defense device or weapon.

Transportation requests must be submitted to the drivers by 4:00 PM the day prior to the need for transport, unless an urgent appointment is necessary. The receptionist will schedule, on a first come, first served basis, transportation to qualifying appointments at the Oroville and Yuba City sites.

It is the patient’s responsibility to notify the department receptionist of the need for transportation at the time the appointment is made.

The agency reserves the right to refuse the transportation of any patient or individual. For further information, please see the "Feather River Tribal Health Transportation of Patients” policy statement.
