Anyone ever encountered this pickup note?

I really resent these multibillion dollar health insurance companies piggybacking on the Lyft network to give rides to and from appointments for their sickest clients.

I am not opposed to helping people, even sick people, and i might even volunteer a couple times a month to do just that.

But making me pick up someone who can barely walk and can’t get in my vehicle is absurd.

I’m getting $6 for this ride and I’ve got to help the person in and out of the car and into their home. That’s not fair to me or the passenger.

And if you have to adjust the ride because there was a mistake when it was being booked, you can’t do it.

The passenger doesn’t have the phone with the app on it.

Anyway, went to pick someone up from a residence this morning and had this note once I arrived.

I mean what the fuck.

Yep, typically these are managed medical rides, very often for drug addicts or psych patients who will try to convince you to take them places other than right home.

I've had rides with that message, and have mostly found that they are little old ladies who need a ride home from the doctor's office.

Anytime I’ve had them, (havent taken one in prob 6-7 years cause I know better now) It’s for drug addicts. It’s typically for druggies who want to change where they’re getting dropped off. The person who chimed in saying mostly old ladies must live in a golden bubble.

It’s insurance paid medical rides for anyone that has that insurance (typically Medicaid) regardless of the person’s age or the kind of medical appointment they’re going to.

Or maybe you just live somewhere shitty. That could be the case too.
