Rachel:
Hello! My father has been hospitalized in Pittsburgh for several weeks after an unexpected illness. He’s finally being discharged, and we’d like to bring him back home to Philadelphia. He’s stable enough to travel but isn’t comfortable making the trip in our family vehicle. Does Aero NEMT provide State-to-State Medical Transportation for situations like this?
Aero NEMT:
Hello, Rachel!
Yes, we do.
Our State-to-State Medical Transportation service helps patients travel safely over long distances after hospitalization, rehabilitation, surgery, or ongoing medical treatment. We regularly assist families with returning loved ones home when commercial travel or personal vehicles aren’t the best option.
Rachel:
That’s exactly what we need.
The hospital’s discharge planner asked us to arrange transportation before they finalize his discharge date. Can you coordinate with the hospital?
Aero NEMT:
Absolutely.
We frequently work with hospital discharge planners, case managers, rehabilitation facilities, and family members to coordinate pickup times and ensure transportation is scheduled according to the patient’s discharge plan.
To learn more, you can also visit our State-to-State Medical Transportation service page.
Rachel:
My father can walk short distances with a walker, but he gets tired quickly.
How do we know which transportation service is best for him?
Aero NEMT:
Before scheduling your trip, we’ll ask about his mobility, medical condition, and physician recommendations.
Depending on his needs, we may recommend Ambulatory Transportation, Wheelchair Transportation, or Stretcher Transportation as part of the long-distance journey.
Rachel:
That’s reassuring.
Will we travel directly to our home in Philadelphia?
Aero NEMT:
Yes.
Our State-to-State Medical Transportation service is designed to provide transportation between hospitals, rehabilitation facilities, assisted living communities, nursing homes, and private residences, depending on each patient’s needs.
Rachel:
He’ll also have follow-up appointments with his primary care physician and cardiologist once he’s home.
Can you help with those appointments too?
Aero NEMT:
Absolutely.
In addition to long-distance transportation, we also provide local Non-Emergency Medical Transportation for follow-up appointments, specialist visits, rehabilitation sessions, diagnostic testing, and many other healthcare services throughout Philadelphia.
Rachel:
This is our first experience arranging Medical Transportation.
Do you have any resources that explain the process?
Aero NEMT:
Yes.
We’ve created several educational resources that explain Non-Emergency Medical Transportation, choosing the right transportation service based on mobility needs, and preparing for long-distance medical travel.
