Margaret:
Hello! My daughter lives in New Jersey, while I live in Philadelphia.
She helps me manage my medical appointments, but she isn’t always able to drive me herself.
Can she arrange my transportation with Aero NEMT even though she lives in another state?
Aero NEMT:
Hello, Margaret!
Yes.
A family member or caregiver can help coordinate scheduled medical transportation on behalf of a patient.
If your daughter is helping arrange your trip, she can provide the relevant pickup, destination, appointment, and mobility information when discussing your transportation needs.
Margaret:
That’s a relief.
She’s been trying to help me get to some appointments, but she can’t always travel back to Philadelphia.
Aero NEMT:
We understand.
Families often live in different cities or states while still helping coordinate healthcare for a loved one.
Our State-to-State Medical Transportation service can be considered when a patient’s scheduled healthcare trip requires transportation across state lines.
To learn more, you can visit our State-to-State Medical Transportation service page.
Margaret:
My daughter sometimes needs to take me to doctors in New Jersey because that’s where some of my specialists are.
Would those trips be considered state-to-state transportation?
Aero NEMT:
If your transportation involves traveling between states for a scheduled healthcare appointment, you can discuss the complete trip with our team.
We’ll need information such as your pickup location, destination, appointment details, and mobility needs to better understand the transportation request.
Margaret:
She also worries about whether I’ll have transportation home afterward.
Aero NEMT:
That’s an important part of planning a longer medical trip.
When discussing your transportation needs, let the team know whether you’re planning a round trip and provide the relevant appointment or facility details.
This helps everyone understand the planned journey.
Margaret:
I’d like to read more before we arrange anything.
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 scheduled medical trips.

Margaret:
Thank you.
It’s good to know my daughter can still help coordinate my transportation even though she doesn’t live nearby.
Aero NEMT:
You’re very welcome, Margaret.
Thank you for considering Aero NEMT.
When family members live in different states, arranging medical transportation can be one less thing for them to manage alone. Our team can discuss your scheduled transportation needs and help you understand the available options.
