FAQ

Non-emergency medical transportation is a form of medical transportation which is provided in non-emergency situations to people who require special medical attention. Ambulances, helicopters, and other emergency transport vehicles may be used in non-emergency medical transport, but the goal of the transport is to get the patient from one location to another while offering medical support, rather than to offer field treatment and rapid transport to an emergency facility. Some hospitals and other facilities offer non-emergency medical transportation as part of their services, and this service is also available through specialty companies.

A candidate for non-emergency medical transportation is medically stable, but still in need of medical support. For example, a resident of a nursing home who had just spent some time in the hospital might need non-emergency medical transport to get back to the nursing home so that nurses or paramedics could monitor the patient's condition and deal with any medical equipment associated with the patient. Likewise, a chronically ill patient might need medical transport to get to doctor's appointments.

Yes, our service is "door through door and bed to bed"…meaning our drivers are prepared to transfer you from your bed to a wheelchair or stretcher. Upon arrival, the driver will notify the appropriate personnel and ensure that you are "checked-in" for your appointment. If your return transport pick up time is unknown, your driver will provide the office staff with a business card and request that they call us 30 minutes prior to the completion of your appointment. This process is in place to reduce your wait time. If the transport requires the driver to stay with the passenger for the duration of the appointment, please request this service when booking the transport so we can make the appropriate accommodations.
