Non-Emergency Medical Transportation in Wanamaker, IN
Safe, reliable rides for seniors and individuals with disabilities.
Why Choose Us
Wanamaker sits on the far southeast corner of Marion County, tucked just outside I-465 with no hospital, dialysis chair, or urgent care of its own. That means almost every appointment turns into a 10 to 25 minute drive — over to Franciscan Health Indianapolis in Beech Grove, north to Community Hospital South off East Stop 11 Road, or downtown to IU Health Methodist Hospital. We provide door-to-door non-emergency medical transportation throughout Wanamaker and Franklin Township, covering dialysis runs to Fresenius Kidney Care Indianapolis South, specialist visits at IU Health, and the everyday rides that keep a southeast-side community moving.
Every ride starts at your front door, whether you live along Southeastern Avenue, near Wanamaker Station, or back in one of the quieter streets off Franklin Road. Our drivers greet you by name, walk you to the van, and help you get settled before pulling out. It's the kind of care we'd want for our own parents — steady, neighborly, and worthy of the trust families place in us with the person they love most.

Testimonials
I had an allergic reaction and spent the night in the ER. By morning I just wanted to go home. The driver was there right when they said he would be. Clean ride, gentle driver, no stress.
– Deborah H.
Recurring rides for my husband's pulmonary rehab. They've never canceled on us, never sent someone who was rude or rushed. Six months of solid, professional service.
– Norma S.
I ride in a reclined wheelchair due to my condition. The driver knew how to position me safely and made sure I was comfortable for the whole ride. Not every service understands reclined chairs.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I book a ride?
Booking is simple — give us a call at 877-369-5457, or tap the "Book a Ride" button on our website. For non-urgent trips, we recommend reserving 24 to 48 hours ahead, though same-day rides are sometimes possible based on driver availability around Wanamaker.
Do you accept Medicaid, Medicare or other health insurance?
We take credit card or cash payment if you book directly with us. For payment using health plans or 3rd party-payers, you will need to contact these parties directly to secure authorization of the trips and many of them may require you to book directly through them.
How far in advance should I schedule my ride?
Plan for 24 to 48 hours of notice, since most Wanamaker medical trips involve a 10 to 25 minute drive into Beech Grove, the south side, or downtown. Booking ahead locks in your pickup window, which matters most for early-morning dialysis runs. Same-day requests are accepted when a driver is available.
Do your vehicles accommodate wheelchairs?
Yes — just let us know at booking and we'll send an accessible van. Our wheelchair-equipped vehicles are fitted with ramps and tie-down systems, and they can handle manual chairs, power chairs, and scooters. Telling us about the chair you use lets us match the right vehicle to your trip.
Can a family member ride along?
Yes, in most cases a relative or caregiver can come along at no additional charge. Just mention them when you book so the driver leaves room and prepares for the extra passenger before pulling up to your door.

What is NEMT?
NEMT — short for Non-Emergency Medical Transportation — is a planned ride service for anyone who needs a safe way to medical care without calling an ambulance. The trips it covers run from dialysis to hospital discharges to routine follow-ups.
The riders who lean on NEMT are typically older adults who no longer drive, people living with disabilities, and anyone managing a condition that makes time behind the wheel unsafe. Vehicles are matched to the rider — wheelchair vans with ramps, stretcher transport, and standard vans with walking support.
Some rides happen once, like a trip home after outpatient surgery. Others run on a weekly rhythm — three dialysis sessions, recurring therapy, monthly infusions, ongoing specialist visits. Either way, the goal stays the same: making sure people reach the care that keeps them well and independent.
Powered by Modern Technology
Every Wanamaker ride is dispatched through Duet, a leading NEMT software platform. That means real-time tracking of your vehicle, dependable scheduling, and clear back-and-forth between you and your driver from the first booking through the final drop-off.
More Than a Ride
Behind every booking out of Wanamaker is a family handing the care of someone they love into our hands — a daughter coordinating dialysis runs over to Beech Grove, a son lining up discharge pickups downtown. That trust is the whole point of what we do, and we carry it from your front door to the facility entrance and back again, every single trip.
