Susan:
Hello! My oncologist recently started me on chemotherapy treatments at a cancer center in Philadelphia. The treatments leave me feeling very tired, and I usually need a wheelchair afterward. Does Aero NEMT provide Wheelchair Transportation for chemotherapy appointments?
Aero NEMT:
Hello, Susan!
Yes, absolutely.
Our Wheelchair Transportation service is available for patients traveling to chemotherapy, radiation therapy, oncology consultations, infusion centers, follow-up appointments, and many other medical services throughout Philadelphia.
Susan:
That’s wonderful.
My treatments are scheduled every other Tuesday for several months. Can I schedule recurring transportation?
Aero NEMT:
Yes.
Many patients receiving ongoing cancer treatment schedule recurring Wheelchair Transportation in advance. This helps ensure dependable transportation for every appointment while reducing the stress of arranging rides each week.

Susan:
Sometimes my treatment lasts longer than expected depending on how I’m feeling.
If I finish later than planned, what happens to my return trip?
Aero NEMT:
That happens quite often with infusion treatments.
If your appointment takes longer than expected, simply let us know or ask a member of the treatment center to contact us. We’ll do our best to coordinate your updated pickup time.
Susan:
My husband usually comes with me for support.
Can he ride with me?
Aero NEMT:
In many situations, one family member or caregiver may accompany the patient. Please let us know during scheduling, and we’ll explain the available arrangements.
Susan:
My oncologist also schedules blood work and follow-up visits between treatments.
Can transportation be arranged for those appointments too?
Aero NEMT:
Absolutely.
We provide Non-Emergency Medical Transportation for chemotherapy appointments, oncology consultations, laboratory testing, imaging studies, specialist visits, and many other healthcare services.
Susan:
I’ve never used Medical Transportation Services before.
Do you have any resources that explain how the process works?
Aero NEMT:
Yes.
We’ve published several educational resources to help patients understand Non-Emergency Medical Transportation, prepare for medical appointments, and choose the transportation service that best fits their mobility needs.
