The strategy is designed to:
- Provide a transportation alternative for individuals in rural areas of who have to travel outside the valley.
- Reimburse volunteer drivers, friends, family members or neighbors for rides in private vehicles.
The general structure of the BRAG Medical Voucher Program is as follows:
- BRAG serves as the program administrator. This includes client assessment and eligibility determination, issuing vouchers, and reimbursing trip providers.
- The customer arranges for the ride and provides vouchers to a licensed and insured adult volunteer driver of their choice.
- The driver must get the signature of the client driven, plus sign the voucher themselves, then turn in the voucher as a record of the trip. Reimbursement checks for the rides provided are mailed directly to the driver by the BRAG office the following month.
