Transportation FAQs
Rides must be scheduled at least 48 hours (Monday–Friday) in advance. There are four easy ways to schedule a ride:
- Call Elevate Medicare Advantage Health Plan Services at 303-602-2111, select option 1. You will be re-routed to MTM to schedule.
- Call MTM directly at 1-877-692-5315.
- Utilize the MTMLink website
- Use the MTM app on your smartphone or tablet. You will need to provide your full name, member ID, date of birth and zip code when you sign up.

- Date of birth
- Address and phone number/cell phone number
- Pick-up address (if different from above)

It means you should call MTM 48 business hours (Monday - Friday) before your scheduled appointment to guarantee a ride.
For example, if your appointment is on Monday at 2:00 p.m., you should call to schedule your ride on Thursday before 2:00 p.m.
