Coverage, Credentialing, Pay & Positioning
Call the Car serves only Southern California, in particular L.A. County, Riverside, and San Bernardino, through its relationships with L.A. Care and Inland Empire Health Plan. That's the narrowest footprint of any broker on this list, a fraction of ModivCare's 48-state reach.
Public detail on Call the Car's credentialing timeline is limited compared to the national brokers, which publish clearer review windows (ModivCare's 4 to 8 weeks, MTM's 6 to 10 weeks). Confirm current requirements and timelines directly with Call the Car rather than assuming a national broker's process applies.
Call the Car's payment terms aren't publicly published, unlike ModivCare's 15-to-30-day standard or MTM's 30-to-45-day terms. Confirm current terms directly before applying, since there's no public schedule to reference in advance.
Among the regional brokers on this list, Call the Car has by far the narrowest geography, narrower even than Verida's 6-state footprint. What it offers in exchange is deep, focused relationships with the two major Southern California Medicaid managed care plans, which can mean less competition for local volume than a national broker's market presence brings.
If you operate in particular in L.A. County, Riverside, or San Bernardino and serve L.A. Care or Inland Empire Health Plan members, Call the Car is worth pursuing alongside a national broker like ModivCare. Outside that specific service area, it isn't relevant to your search at all.
