Non-Emergency Medical transportation 
Non-emergency medical transportation is a professional service to transport individual(s) with a health condition or injury that does not pose an immediate threat. Doctors schedule transportation for patients who have a medical condition that prohibits them from travel. Law firms depend on these services to transport an injured client to a deposition, court appearance, or interview.
AMBULATORY TRANSPORTATION (SEDAN)
Ambulatory transportation is the most common form of non-emergency medical transportation. It is for patients who do not need equipment to travel and who are able to walk, or only need basic assistance.
STRETCHER
Stretcher medical transport is available, specifically for patients who suffer from back conditions or who cannot sit upright. Scheduling this service implies that emergency assistance is not required in transit or at time of arrival.
COURIER SERVICE
Medical courier services transport human blood, organs and other biological matter to and from hospitals and research facilities. Our contracted drivers and providers adhere to the strictest confidentiality and privacy standards, including the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA).
FLIGHT ESCORTS
Medical flight escort services are for patients who are well enough to travel by air but require medical supervision because they cannot converse or sit upright. We arrange flight escort services with a commercial airline for our clients. An on-board nurse will accompany the patient to monitor their condition for the flight’s duration.
WHEELCHAIR
Wheelchair transport services offer help to those who are confined to a wheelchair or who cannot walk on their own. CPR-trained drivers operate the vans and wheelchair lifts. Wheelchairs are available for rent and special consideration is given to patients with disabilities. Again, the use of this service implies that the patient does not need immediate emergency care at the time of service.
Emergency Medical Transportation 
BASIC LIFE SUPPORT AMBULANCE (BLS)
A Basic Life Support ambulance is for patients who need medical assistance while in transit. Emergency Medical Technicians (EMTs) provide bandages, EpiPens, cardiac monitoring, splints, oxygen tanks, and other medical supplies on board at all times. A transportation representative will coordinate BLS transportation prior to the patient’s discharge date to transport him/her to their home, another medical facility, rehabilitation clinic, assisted living community or psychiatric clinic.
ADVANCED LIFE SUPPORT AMBULANCE (ALS)
Similarly, Advanced Life Support (ALS) ambulances are operated by highly skilled paramedics. While on board, paramedics administer shots, medication, monitor vitals, and stabilize the patient for transport to an emergency room or trauma unit.
