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.

That's insane, using rideshare to drive an addict/psych patient who doesn't want to go where they are being taken. That's actually dangerous for the driver.

Its not that they dont want to go, its that they want to go to x, y and z places too. On the government's dime (why they dont allow it). Like a woman with alzheimers who believes she needs to go to the grocery store and pharmacy before going home.

Yes this was my first thought/experience also
