I Received Treatment Out of State. How Can I Get Home?

Summary
Received medical care in another state and need transportation home? Learn how Aero NEMT’s State-to-State Medical Transportation service can help coordinate scheduled long-distance travel after treatment.

Michael:

Hello! I traveled to New Jersey for a medical procedure because my specialist is located there.

My treatment is finished, and I need to return home to Philadelphia.

I’m not sure how to arrange transportation back home. Can Aero NEMT help?

Aero NEMT:

Hello, Michael!

Yes.

Our State-to-State Medical Transportation service can help patients arrange scheduled transportation when their medical care takes them outside their home state.

This can include transportation back home after a planned medical visit or treatment, depending on the patient’s transportation needs.

Michael:

I’m not having an emergency. I’m just not comfortable making the trip home by myself after the procedure.

Aero NEMT:

We understand.

When you’re planning transportation after medical treatment, it’s important to explain your current mobility needs and any transportation instructions provided by your healthcare team.

We’ll also need the pickup location, destination, and requested travel date and time to understand the trip you’re planning.

You can learn more about our State-to-State Medical Transportation service on our service page.

Michael:

My family lives in Philadelphia, and they’ll be waiting for me when I get home.

Can they arrange the transportation for me?

Aero NEMT:

Yes.

A family member or caregiver can help coordinate scheduled transportation and provide the information needed to discuss the trip.

It’s helpful to have your treatment facility’s address, your destination, and your planned discharge or departure time available.

Michael:

What if I need to return to the same facility again later?

Aero NEMT:

If you have additional appointments or treatments scheduled in another state, you can discuss those transportation needs with our team as well.

Some patients require repeated interstate trips while receiving specialized or ongoing medical care.

Michael:

I’d like to understand more about long-distance medical transportation before I schedule.

Aero NEMT:

Certainly.

We’ve created educational resources to help patients and families understand State-to-State Medical Transportation, Non-Emergency Medical Transportation, and planning for scheduled medical trips.
