Frequently Asked Questions About Non-Emergency Medical Transport
Do I need a doctor's order for non-emergency medical transport?
While a physician's referral is often required for insurance billing purposes, we can assist you in determining whether your insurance plan requires a doctor's order. Many Medicare and Medicaid plans cover non-emergency transport when medically necessary and properly documented.
Can a family member ride along during transport?
Yes, we allow one family member or caregiver to accompany the patient during non-emergency transport, space permitting. This helps reduce patient anxiety and provides continuity of care during the transfer.
How far in advance should I schedule non-emergency transport?
We recommend scheduling at least 24 to 48 hours in advance for routine appointments. However, we understand that discharge planning can be unpredictable, and we do our best to accommodate same-day requests whenever possible based on vehicle and crew availability.
What types of insurance do you accept?
We accept Medicare, Medicaid, and most major private insurance plans. We also offer private pay options for patients without insurance coverage. Our billing team can verify your coverage and explain any out-of-pocket costs before your transport.
Are your vehicles wheelchair accessible?
Yes. All of our non-emergency transport vehicles are equipped with wheelchair securement systems and power lift gates to accommodate patients who use wheelchairs or other mobility devices.
