What is long-distance non-emergency medical transportation? Unlike emergency transportation, which rushes you to the nearest hospital for immediate care, non-emergency medical transportation isn’t as urgent, though it’s no less important. It’s not uncommon for patients to relocate to another hospital during the course of treatment, often because their current facility doesn’t have the staff or equipment necessary to provide treatment or they want to be closer to family. But traveling while hospitalized is no easy feat.Long-distance medical transportation allows patients to move from state to state in comfort and with access to the medical care they need. Let’s consider what exactly goes into long-distance medical travel.

Medical Ground Transportation

United MedTrans specializes in ground transportation for non-emergency medical transportation. Rather than an ambulance, we use Mercedes Sprinters, which have been fully customized and designed to provide patients with the comfort and accommodation they need. On board, we provide every patient with a trained and certified crew consisting of two professional drivers and one onboard nurse or medic. This ensures you can receive the prescriptions and treatments you need while on the move, and you’ll always have assistance for every step of the journey.

Arranging Transportation

Trying to arrange your travel plans while balancing your medical needs is stressful, to put it mildly. Luckily, part of long-distance non-emergency transportation involves transport coordinators gathering relevant information and helping you create effective travel plans. This will relieve a lot of the burden on your shoulders so that you need only rest and prepare for the journey ahead. We’ll do our due diligence to learn everything important about your condition so that we can ensure the right medical equipment and treatments are available on board your transport.

What To Expect When Traveling

Now that you know what long-distance non-emergency medical transportation is, what kind of experience can you expect? As we mentioned, your transport vehicle will be staffed with three professionals, one of which is a nurse or medic that will see to your routine medications and treatments. As a result, you can take it easy and focus on remaining comfortable as we take you across state lines. At most, you may need to provide us with some basic information to ensure we’re accommodating you correctly.
