Non-Emergency Medical Transportation in Lincolnton, NC
Safe, reliable rides for seniors and individuals with disabilities.
Why Choose Us
Lincolnton is the healthcare hub of Lincoln County, and Atrium Health Lincoln is the only acute care hospital serving the entire area. For seniors, people with disabilities, and anyone without reliable transportation, getting to a dialysis session at Fresenius Kidney Care Lincolnton, a follow-up at the hospital on McAlister Road, or a specialist appointment in Charlotte or Hickory can be a real challenge. We provide professional, door-to-door medical transportation throughout Lincolnton and Lincoln County — for dialysis, hospital visits, doctor appointments, and the everyday rides that keep life moving, like a trip to the senior center or Sunday services downtown.
Our drivers come to your front door, help you to the vehicle, and make sure you're settled before heading out. At your appointment, they walk you to the entrance. When you're done, they're waiting. It's personal, hands-on service — the kind of care you'd arrange for your own parent — and that's the standard we hold ourselves to on every ride.

Testimonials
I was released from the hospital with a temporary oxygen setup and was nervous about transport. The driver handled everything professionally and made sure my equipment was positioned safely. Excellent service.
– Dorothy M.
Weekly wound care appointments for three months straight. Not a single missed ride or late arrival. They treated every appointment like it was the most important one on their schedule.
– Christine W.
My power chair is my independence and I trust very few people with it. These drivers earn that trust every ride. They handle the chair with care and treat me like the capable adult I am.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I book a ride?
The easiest way is to call us at 877-369-5457, or you can click the "Book a Ride" button right here on our website. For non-urgent appointments, booking a day or two ahead is ideal, but same-day rides may be available depending on where you are.
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?
A day or two of notice works well for local rides in Lincolnton. Trips to Charlotte, Gastonia, or Hickory for specialty care benefit from extra lead time. For recurring dialysis or therapy, we can lock in a standing schedule so you don't rebook each week.
Do your vehicles accommodate wheelchairs?
They do — just mention it when you're booking. Our vans are equipped with wheelchair ramps and secure tie-down systems, and we handle manual wheelchairs, power chairs, and scooters. We'll match the right vehicle to your specific needs.
Can a family member ride along?
Absolutely. We welcome a family member or caregiver to ride along, and there's typically no additional cost. Let us know ahead of time so we can make sure there's room and the driver is ready for everyone.

What is NEMT?
NEMT — short for Non-Emergency Medical Transportation — is a ride service designed for people who need a safe, reliable way to reach medical appointments but aren't facing an emergency. Think dialysis sessions, routine doctor visits, post-surgery pickups, and discharge rides home.
The riders who depend on NEMT are often seniors who've given up driving, people living with disabilities, and anyone whose health makes operating a vehicle difficult. Vehicles match each rider's needs — wheelchair-accessible vans with ramps, stretcher transport for those who must lie flat, and cars with drivers who provide walking help.
Typical NEMT rides include recurring appointments — dialysis three times a week, physical therapy, cancer treatment, routine check-ups — and one-time needs like getting home after outpatient surgery or a hospital stay. The purpose is simple: make sure people can reach the healthcare that keeps them well and living independently.
Powered by Modern Technology
Every Lincolnton ride is powered by Duet, a trusted NEMT software platform. You get real-time vehicle tracking, reliable scheduling, and direct communication with your driver from pickup to drop-off.
More Than a Ride
Every ride we take is a family deciding to put someone they love in our care. We don't forget that. From the first call to the moment your loved one walks through their front door, everything we do is shaped by one idea: the person riding with us — and the person who booked the trip — should never have a reason to worry.
