Under the partnership, VA patients can use Uber Health’s ride-sourcing platform that allows clinics and VA Medical Centers to book rides for patients through a centralized dashboard, according to a May 17 press release from the VA. 

The rides are covered by the West Palm Beach (Fla.) VA Medical Center.

At the Becker's 11th Annual IT + Revenue Cycle Conference: The Future of AI & Digital Health, taking place September 14–17 in Chicago, healthcare executives and digital leaders from across the country will come together to explore how AI, interoperability, cybersecurity, and revenue cycle innovation are transforming care delivery, strengthening financial performance, and driving the next era of digital health.
