What is non-emergency transportation?

This service is for people requiring skilled medical assistance while in transit. Individuals are medically stable, without the need for rapid transport to an emergency facility. They may have mobility challenges that make conventional travel difficult.Medical equipment is available that isn’t commonly present in ordinary vehicles. Non-emergency conveyors are designed for comfort.

What other special features do vehicles have?

Full-size, adjustable stretchers accommodate all positions. Fastening systems ensure safety. Continuous oxygen is available for people with respiratory difficulty. If oxygen is required, you will need a doctor’s order since oxygen is considered a prescription drug.

How are vehicles staffed?

A highly-skilled nurse will accompany you, monitoring your vital signs and keeping you comfortable. If you need bedside-to-bedside transfer, a trained team will provide assistance. Vehicle drivers have experience with medical conditions and the particular care involved. Some transporters hire paramedics and emergency medical technicians (EMTs) as drivers.

Can I specifically request a male or female crew member for hands-on care?

Yes. The more advance notice you give, the greater the likelihood that your request can be fulfilled at the time you need.

What type of care is provided for people with special needs?

Trained staff empty Foley catheters, operate feeding tubes, administer oxygen, and change diapers. They know how to safely lift, turn, and transfer passengers. People on restrictive diets, such as soft, pureed, or diabetic, are fed appropriately.
