Non-Emergency Medical Transportation in Cove, TX
Safe, reliable rides for seniors and individuals with disabilities.
Why Choose Us
Cove is a small unincorporated stretch of Chambers County tucked between Baytown and Anahuac along TX-146, and almost no medical care happens inside the community itself. The closest hospitals and clinics sit ten to twelve miles south on the Garth Road corridor in Baytown, where Houston Methodist Baytown Hospital and Altus Baytown Hospital handle most inpatient and outpatient needs. Specialty appointments usually mean a longer drive west on I-10 to the Texas Medical Center in Houston. With no public transit reaching Cove, we provide the door-to-door rides that keep dialysis, follow-ups, and everyday outings on schedule.
The ride starts at your front porch — not the end of a long FM 565 driveway. Our driver walks you to the van, makes sure you're settled before pulling onto the road, and is already in the lot when your appointment wraps up. It's the kind of care we'd want for our own grandparent at the end of a quiet farm-to-market road, treating every rider as the person someone trusted us with.

Testimonials
Post-surgery transport shouldn't be this good, but here we are. On time, spotless vehicle, driver who actually cares. I've recommended them to everyone in my recovery group.
– Frank L.
I live far from my parents and can't drive them to their frequent medical visits. This service has been an absolute godsend. Reliable, affordable, and they treat my parents like family.
– Keith H.
My husband and I both use wheelchairs. They accommodated both of us in one vehicle for the same appointment. The drivers secured both chairs and we rode together comfortably. Wonderful service.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I book a ride?
Ring us at 877-369-5457 or tap the "Book a Ride" link at the top of the page. For routine trips we like 24 to 48 hours of lead time, though a same-day ride out to Cove may still come together depending on which vehicles are running nearby.
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?
For Baytown trips down TX-146, 24 to 48 hours of notice works well. Texas Medical Center runs in Houston take 60 to 75 minutes during morning rush, so 48 to 72 hours is better. Early dialysis pickups and Fred Hartman Bridge backups call for extra lead time.
Do your vehicles accommodate wheelchairs?
Yes — let us know when you book. Our wheelchair-accessible vans are fitted with ramps and four-point tie-down systems, and they handle manual chairs, power chairs, and scooters without trouble. The right vehicle is assigned to your trip before the driver heads out toward Cove.
Can a family member ride along?
Yes — a relative or caregiver is welcome to come along, and in most cases there's no extra charge. Just tell us who's joining when you book so the driver can plan seating and make sure there's room for everyone.

What is NEMT?
NEMT — short for Non-Emergency Medical Transportation — is a planned ride built for people who need a steady way to reach a medical appointment without the urgency or cost of an ambulance call.
The service exists for the riders other options pass over: older adults who no longer feel safe driving, neighbors managing a disability, and anyone whose condition makes the wheel a risk. The vehicles match the rider — wheelchair vans with ramps, stretcher transport for those who must travel flat, and standard cars with hands-on walking help.
Many NEMT trips repeat on a fixed cadence — dialysis three days a week, infusion therapy, rehab sessions, the regular drumbeat of primary-care visits. The rest are one-time runs home after an outpatient procedure or hospital stay. The aim is straightforward: keep people connected to the care that keeps them well and independent.
Powered by Modern Technology
Our rides are powered by Duet, a leading software platform built specifically for non-emergency medical transportation. Cove riders get real-time vehicle tracking, dependable scheduling for recurring trips, and clear two-way communication from booking to drop-off.
More Than a Ride
When a Cove family calls us, they're placing a parent, a spouse, or a longtime neighbor up the road in our hands. That trust is the whole reason for the work. From the first phone call to the moment we close the front door behind you, every part of the trip is built so nobody at home has to wonder how the ride is going.
