Melissa:
Hello! My husband recently started chemotherapy treatments at a cancer center in Philadelphia. He can still walk on his own, but after each treatment he’s usually exhausted and isn’t able to drive home safely. I wanted to learn more about your Ambulatory Transportation service.
Aero NEMT:
Hello, Melissa!
We’re happy to help.
Our Ambulatory Transportation service is designed for patients who can walk independently or with minimal assistance but need reliable Non-Emergency Medical Transportation to and from medical appointments.
Many patients use this service for chemotherapy, radiation therapy, specialist visits, outpatient procedures, and follow-up appointments.
Melissa:
That’s exactly what we’re looking for.
His treatments are scheduled every other Tuesday for the next several months. Can we arrange transportation for all of those appointments?
Aero NEMT:
Absolutely.
Many patients receiving cancer treatment schedule recurring Medical Transportation in advance. Once we receive the treatment schedule, we can coordinate transportation for each appointment, making the process easier for patients and their families.
Melissa:
That’s wonderful.
Sometimes he’s feeling fine when we arrive, but after treatment he’s much weaker. Is your team able to provide some assistance while he’s getting into the vehicle?
Aero NEMT:
Yes.
Our transportation team can provide mobility assistance while patients enter and exit the vehicle, helping make the trip as safe and comfortable as possible.
To learn more about how our service works, you can also visit our Ambulatory Transportation page.
Melissa:
Can I ride with him during the trip?
Aero NEMT:
In many cases, yes.
One family member or caregiver may accompany the patient during transportation. Just let us know while scheduling so we can make the necessary arrangements whenever possible.
Melissa:
Sometimes the treatments take longer than expected. Would that affect the return trip?
Aero NEMT:
Treatment schedules occasionally change.
If the oncology center notifies you that the appointment is running longer than expected, simply contact our office. We’ll do our best to coordinate the return transportation based on the updated schedule.
Melissa:
What information do you need before giving us a quote?
Aero NEMT:
We’ll need:
- Pickup address
- Treatment center location
- Appointment dates and times
- Whether transportation is one-way or round-trip
- Any mobility assistance your husband may need
With that information, we’ll prepare a personalized transportation quote.
Melissa:
This is all new to us, so I’ve been trying to learn more about Non-Emergency Medical Transportation before making arrangements.
Aero NEMT:
That’s completely understandable.
Many families have similar questions when arranging transportation for ongoing medical treatments.
To help patients prepare, we’ve published helpful resources about Non-Emergency Medical Transportation, planning recurring medical appointments, and understanding the different transportation services available.

Melissa:
Thank you.
It’s reassuring to know there are transportation options available during his treatment.
I’d like to request a quote for his upcoming appointments.
Aero NEMT:
We’d be happy to assist.
Once we receive the treatment schedule, we’ll prepare your personalized quote and coordinate dependable Ambulatory Transportation for each visit.
Our goal is to provide safe, reliable Medical Transportation Services so patients can focus on their treatment while families have peace of mind.
Melissa:
Thank you for taking the time to answer all of my questions.
Aero NEMT:
You’re very welcome, Melissa.
We appreciate the opportunity to assist your family.
