1. Save Your Booking Progress

Members can now save a trip booking as a draft and return to it later. From any step in the booking flow, selecting "Save as Draft" keeps all entered information and returns members to the home page. Drafts will be visible when starting a new trip request, so stepping away to check a calendar or insurance card no longer means starting over.


2. Cleaner Trip Notifications

Members receive clearer, better-timed notifications for trip updates. For recurring trips, members receive a single notification instead of one per trip, keeping the experience focused and easy to follow.


3. Clearer Copy

Updated guidance in the Driver Notes and Additional Passengers screens, making it easier to know exactly what to enter. Helpful, specific prompts ensure drivers have everything they need to provide the right vehicle and best service.


4. Service Animal Weight

Members can enter their service animal's weight during booking to help ensure the right vehicle is assigned.


5. Facility Name Preserved on Trip Requests

Pickup and dropoff names entered in the app now appear exactly as entered on the trip request.


6. Mileage Reimbursement Driver Validation

Members cannot enter their own name as the reimbursement driver, helping ensure the benefit is used correctly.


7. Redesigned Invitation Email

Invitation emails now highlight the benefits of self-service booking and make getting started simple. Reminder emails follow at 24 and 72 hours for members who have not yet registered, increasing the likelihood they complete sign-up on their own.


8. Pending Trip Request Reminder

Members with a pending trip request receive a push notification 48 hours before their trip date. The notification directs them to their trip details and encourages them to contact the health plan, helping members stay informed and avoid expired requests.
