Michael:

Hello! I recently had ankle surgery, and the hospital sent me home in a temporary wheelchair. My doctor scheduled several follow-up appointments, but I’m not sure how I’ll get there. My family’s car isn’t easy for me to get into anymore.

Can Aero NEMT help?

Aero NEMT:

Hello, Michael!

Yes, absolutely.

Many people temporarily use a wheelchair after surgery or an injury. Our Wheelchair Transportation service is designed to help patients travel safely to scheduled medical appointments without relying on a standard passenger vehicle.

Michael:

That’s a relief.

My first appointment is with my orthopedic surgeon, and after that I’ll be going to physical therapy twice a week.

Can I use the same service for all of those visits?

Aero NEMT:

Of course.

Many patients use our Wheelchair Transportation service for orthopedic appointments, physical therapy, rehabilitation, diagnostic imaging, follow-up visits, and other scheduled healthcare services.

You can arrange transportation for one appointment or multiple visits based on your treatment plan.

To learn more about the service, please visit our Wheelchair Transportation page.

Michael:

My recovery should take about six weeks.

If I still need the wheelchair during that time, can I continue scheduling rides?

Aero NEMT:

Absolutely.

Many patients continue using wheelchair transportation throughout their recovery until they’re able to travel comfortably using another transportation option.

Michael:

I’ve never used medical transportation before.

Is there somewhere I can learn more about how it works?

Aero NEMT:

Certainly.

We’ve created several educational resources to help patients understand Wheelchair Transportation, prepare for medical appointments, and choose the transportation service that best fits their needs.

Michael:

Perfect.

I’d like to schedule transportation for my follow-up appointment next Monday.

Aero NEMT:

We’d be happy to help.

You’re very welcome, Michael.
