Long Distance Medical Transportation, Planned Around Your Loved One
When a loved one needs to travel hundreds or thousands of miles for medical reasons, the right way to get them there depends on their condition, the distance, and what’s happening at both ends of the trip. We help you figure that out, then we handle the logistics.
Ground transport, air coordination, medical caretakers, and door-to-door planning. One call gets you a plan and a quote.
How the Process Works
We start with a phone call. There’s no online form and no generic quote calculator, because every long distance trip is different and the right plan usually isn’t obvious until we’ve talked through the details.
1. You Call Us
Tell us where the patient is, where they’re going, and what their medical situation is. Our team will ask about mobility, equipment needs, and any time constraints.
2. We Talk Through the Options
Depending on the distance and the patient’s condition, the right approach might be ground transport the whole way, an air leg with ground transport on either end, or something else. We’ll walk you through the trade-offs in plain language.
3. We Build the Plan
Once you’ve decided on an approach, we put together the full itinerary: vehicles, staffing, equipment, route, timing, and any air coordination needed.
4. We Implement the Plan
We arrange, manage, and pay for all services needed, and keep you informed at every step. You’ll have access to our technologies to track the process from the first call to the final drop-off.
5. One Quote, One Invoice
You receive a single invoice for all services required for the entire trip. We handle all the logistics and consolidate the billing so you can focus on caring for your loved ones.
Most families come in thinking they need one thing and leave the conversation with a better plan than they expected.
When Families Call Us
Most of our calls fall into one of a few situations. A parent is being discharged from a hospital out of state and needs to get home, but commercial flights aren’t an option. A family is relocating an aging relative closer to them and needs safe transport between nursing facilities. A patient is being transferred between hospitals for specialized care. Someone is coming home on hospice and the family wants them comfortable for the trip.
Every one of these situations is stressful. Our job is to take the transport part off your plate so you can focus on everything else.
What We Can Coordinate
We’re not just a ground transport company. We coordinate whatever combination of ground and air the trip calls for, and we provide trained medical caretakers who stay with the patient from pickup to arrival.
Ground Transport
Stretcher, wheelchair, bariatric, and comfortable large vehicles for any leg of the trip that’s better done on the road.
Air Coordination
We coordinate the air leg through trusted partners: commercial airlines or medical air charter, depending on the situation. One quote covers everything.
Medical Caretakers
Trained staff accompany the patient for the entire trip, including air legs. Your loved one is always in the care of a professional caretaker.
Multi-Leg Coordination
Ground pickup at a hospital, a flight to another state, and ground transport to a receiving facility. We plan all legs as one trip and bill it as a single invoice.
Our Services
We coordinate trips throughout all 50 U.S. states, including Alaska and Hawaii. Ground transport covers the contiguous states. For Alaska, Hawaii, and any trip where air is the right choice, we coordinate the flight through our partners and provide the medical caretaker who stays with the patient throughout.
By Transport Type
How the patient travels. All trips are door through door and accompanied by trained caretaker(s) from the first pickup to the last drop-off.
Long Distance Stretcher Transport
For patients who need to travel lying down, with medical staff and equipment onboard.
Long Distance Wheelchair Transport
For patients with mobility limitations who can travel seated in a wheelchair-accessible vehicle.
Long Distance Bariatric Transport
Specialized vehicles and equipment for bariatric patients, with staff trained in safe handling.
Long Distance Ambulatory Transport
Large comfortable vehicle for ground transport and business class for air travel, with staff trained in safe handling.
By Destination
Where the patient is going. Each covers a specific handoff between facilities or a move to or from home.
Hospital to Hospital Patient Transfer
Safe transfer between hospitals, coordinated with both the sending and receiving facilities.
Hospital to Home Medical Transportation
Get your loved one home from a hospital stay, however far away it is.
Nursing Home Relocation Transport
Move a resident from one nursing facility to another with care coordinated at both ends.
Assisted Living Facility Transfer
Transport between assisted living communities, with admissions coordination on both sides.
Hospice Transport
Comfortable, dignified transport to home or to a hospice facility for end-of-life care.
Home to Home
Comfortable, accompanied transport to relocate from one place to another.
Patient Relocation Services
Moving a loved one permanently to be closer to family or better care. We coordinate with both the sending and receiving facilities so admissions, records, and medication handoffs are lined up before the move.
State to State Medical Transportation
One of our most common services. We’re licensed across state lines and handle the regulatory side. For shorter trips, ground transport works well. For longer ones, we’ll talk through whether air makes sense.
Cross Country Medical Transportation
Coast to coast, or close to it. We can do these by ground with rotating drivers and overnight stops, or coordinate an air leg if that’s better for the patient. We’ll lay out both options on the call.
Interstate Medical Transport
Any trip that crosses state lines, whether it’s a short hop or a cross country run. We coordinate with hospital discharge planners on timing and work on your schedule for planned moves.
Who We Serve
We coordinate transport for patients in a range of situations:
- Patients being discharged from hospitals far from home
- Patients transferring between hospitals for specialized treatment
- Seniors relocating closer to family
- Residents moving between nursing homes or assisted living communities
- Patients coming home on hospice
- Bariatric patients who need specialized equipment
- Patients who can only travel lying down
- Wheelchair users making long distance moves
- Patients whose trips involve a combination of ground and air
We specialize in non-emergency medical transportation. In all situations, patients need to be in a stable condition and need minimal medical care during the transport.
If you’re not sure, call us anyway and we can help you assess the situation.
