Starting this summer, care-receivers can add a caregiver to their Uber profile
Uber launches Uber Caregiver, targeting caregivers and those they assist
Uber Health has launched Uber Caregiver, allowing users to request and monitor rides and deliveries, as well as apply the care-receiver’s eligible health benefits for payment.
It is designed to help patients maximize healthcare benefits and to improve the care experience for caregivers.
The company says this is the just beginning of Uber Health’s attempt to assist caregivers. In the coming months, they will start working with Medicare Advantage, Medicaid, and commercial plans to support to caregivers.
Caregivers can coordinate transportation on behalf of a loved one on the Uber app beginning this summer.
