Linda:

Hello! I can walk without a wheelchair, but getting to my medical appointments by bus has become really difficult.

Sometimes I have to take two buses and walk several blocks between stops.

Is Ambulatory Transportation an option for me?

Aero NEMT:

Hello, Linda!

It may be.

Some patients can walk independently but find public transportation difficult because of long routes, multiple transfers, extended waiting periods, or the distance they need to walk.

Our Ambulatory Transportation service is intended for patients who can walk but need dependable transportation for scheduled healthcare visits.

Linda:

That’s exactly my problem.

I don’t mind walking a little, but the entire trip can take more than an hour.

Aero NEMT:

We understand.

Medical appointments can already require planning, and a long public transportation journey can make the day more difficult.

When scheduling your ride, provide your pickup location, destination, and appointment time so we can better understand your transportation needs.

You can learn more about our Ambulatory Transportation service on our service page.

Linda:

I have appointments with two different doctors every month.

Can I use NEMT for both?

Aero NEMT:

Yes.

Patients may schedule Ambulatory Transportation for many types of planned healthcare visits, including primary care appointments, specialist visits, therapy, diagnostic testing, and follow-up care.

Linda:

Would this also work if I normally walk with a cane?

Aero NEMT:

Let us know about your cane and any other mobility needs when you schedule your ride.

Providing accurate information about how you travel helps us better understand your transportation requirements and determine the appropriate service.

Linda:

I’d like to learn more about my transportation options before booking.

Aero NEMT:

Certainly.

We’ve created educational resources to help patients understand Ambulatory Transportation, Non-Emergency Medical Transportation, and the different transportation options available for scheduled healthcare trips.
