Non-Emergency Medical Transportation in Ballston, VA
Safe, reliable rides for seniors and individuals with disabilities.
Why Choose Us
Ballston is small in square miles but dense in daily life — a walkable urban-village neighborhood in Arlington where senior condo residents, federal retirees, and longtime owners live within minutes of major medical care. Virginia Hospital Center sits just up N. George Mason Drive, Virginia Cancer Specialists Ballston anchors the Wilson Boulevard corridor, and dialysis chairs at DaVita Arlington Dialysis stay full week after week. We provide professional, door-to-door medical transportation across Ballston and Arlington County for dialysis sessions, oncology visits, hospital discharges, specialist runs across the Potomac, and the everyday rides that keep life moving.
Every ride begins at your building lobby or front door. Our drivers greet you, help you into the vehicle, and make sure you're settled before we pull out into traffic. When your appointment wraps up, we're already waiting. It's the kind of care we'd want for our own parents — patient, on time, and built around the understanding that the person we're driving is the person someone loves most.

Testimonials
They drove me home after a colonoscopy when my regular ride fell through last minute. Showed up in twenty minutes and got me home safely. Lifesaver is the right word.

My father needs transportation to his support group meetings twice a week. The drivers are discreet and respectful. He says the rides are the easy part of his week now.

I transferred from my wheelchair to a seat for the first time with a transport driver's help. He knew exactly how to assist without overstepping. Professional, safe, and dignified. Truly impressive.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I book a ride?
The fastest way is to call 877-369-5457, or you can tap the "Book a Ride" button on our website. For non-urgent trips, we recommend giving us 24 to 48 hours of notice, though same-day rides are sometimes possible 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?
For routine appointments, 24 to 48 hours of lead time works best — and in Ballston we usually ask for the longer end of that window. Rush hour on I-66, Wilson Boulevard, and the bridges into DC can add 30 to 45 minutes. Recurring dialysis trips can be locked into a standing schedule.
What if I need a wheelchair-accessible vehicle?
Mention it when you book and we'll line up the right vehicle for your ride. Our accessible vans carry ramps and proper tie-downs, and we accommodate manual chairs, power chairs, and scooters. Your driver will be ready to assist from the building entrance through to drop-off.
Can a family member or caregiver ride with me?
Absolutely. A relative or caregiver is welcome to join the trip at no extra charge in most situations. Flag the extra rider when you call so the driver brings the right vehicle.

What is NEMT?
NEMT — Non-Emergency Medical Transportation — is a professional ride service for people who need to get to medical care safely but don't require an ambulance. Think dialysis runs, follow-up visits, hospital discharges, and routine treatments.
Most riders are seniors who've stopped driving, adults living with disabilities, or anyone managing a condition that makes the wheel unsafe. The vehicles match the rider: wheelchair-accessible vans with ramps and securement, stretcher-equipped transport, and standard cars with drivers trained to walk you in.
A lot of these rides repeat on a fixed rhythm — dialysis every other day, weekly therapy, monthly oncology infusions. Others happen once, after an outpatient procedure or a hospital stay. Either way, the point is the same: getting people to the care that keeps them healthy and living on their own terms.
Powered by Modern Technology
Every ride runs on Duet, a leading NEMT software platform. That gives you live vehicle tracking, scheduling you can rely on, and clear communication between rider and driver.
More Than a Ride
When a family hands us the keys to a parent's afternoon, they're trusting us with the person they love most. We don't take that lightly. From the first phone call to the last step back inside the building, everything we do is built around a single promise: no one riding with us should ever have to wonder whether the ride will show.
