Medical Transportation
Medical Transportation is available for senior residents of Bloomfield Hills and Bloomfield Township through SMART funding. Residents must be 60 or older or 50 and over with medical handicaps (written confirmation from a licensed physician is required). The limited amount of funds and the high cost of medical transportation mandates that BTSS implement qualifying guidelines for receiving service. Transportation clients are responsible for paying a 45% co-pay to BTSS for all rides. A completed application form must be on file for all individuals prior to receiving medical transportation services. Proof of residency must accompany the application form.
Transportation may be provided for medical and dental appointments, life-sustaining situations, physical therapy, dialysis, radiation treatment. Clients must be Bloomfield Township or Bloomfield Hills Residents 60+, and residents 50-59 if handicapped, (written confirmation from licensed physician required) and are required to have a Transportation Services Application on file at BTSS with proof of residency prior to making transportation arrangements.
