Transport of a minor

There is no minimum age requirement if a member is seeking family planning/pregnancy related services or behavioral health services.

If the Member is 14 years of age or younger, the member must be accompanied by a parent, guardian, or another adult authorized in writing by the parent or guardian on a form prescribed by the state of Texas.

If the member is 15 to 17 years of age, the member must be accompanied by a parent, guardian, or another adult authorized by the parent or guardian unless the member presents the parent's or legal guardian's signed, written consent for NEMT services to Access2Care.

Emancipated minors can travel alone if the appropriate emancipation paperwork is on file with Access2Care.

Please call your health plan's toll-free number to schedule your trip. The Access2Care Care Coordination Team will assist in providing you with the required documentation. Please note that all required documentation must be returned to Access2Care no less than one day prior to the trip occurring.
