Jennifer:
Hello! My husband recently had spinal fusion surgery at a hospital in Philadelphia. His surgeon advised that he shouldn’t sit upright for long periods while recovering, and he has several follow-up appointments scheduled. Does Aero NEMT provide Stretcher Transportation for patients recovering from spinal surgery?
Aero NEMT:
Hello, Jennifer!
Yes, we do.
Our Stretcher Transportation service is designed for patients recovering from spinal surgery and other medical conditions that require traveling in a lying-down position. We provide dependable Non-Emergency Medical Transportation to hospitals, spine specialists, rehabilitation centers, imaging facilities, and physician offices throughout Philadelphia.
Jennifer:
That’s exactly what we need.
His first appointment is with the spine surgeon, followed by physical medicine and rehabilitation a few weeks later. Can transportation be arranged for all of those appointments?
Aero NEMT:
Absolutely.
Many patients recovering from spinal procedures schedule recurring Stretcher Transportation for surgical follow-up visits, rehabilitation appointments, diagnostic imaging, pain management, and ongoing medical care.

Jennifer:
The surgeon also mentioned that he may need follow-up X-rays and an MRI during recovery.
Can Aero NEMT take him to imaging centers as well?
Aero NEMT:
Of course.
We regularly provide Medical Transportation to imaging centers, hospitals, outpatient clinics, orthopedic specialists, neurosurgeons, and rehabilitation facilities throughout Philadelphia.
Jennifer:
He’s expected to remain at home for several weeks before starting outpatient rehabilitation.
Can transportation be arranged from our home?
Aero NEMT:
Yes.
We provide Non-Emergency Medical Transportation from private residences, rehabilitation facilities, assisted living communities, and skilled nursing facilities to scheduled medical appointments.
Jennifer:
If his recovery goes well and he’s eventually able to sit comfortably, would he still need stretcher transportation?
Aero NEMT:
Not necessarily.
As his condition improves, we’ll review his mobility needs. Some patients later transition from Stretcher Transportation to Wheelchair Transportation or Ambulatory Transportation, depending on their physician’s recommendations and mobility.
Jennifer:
We’ve never arranged Medical Transportation Services before.
Do you have any resources that explain how the process works?
Aero NEMT:
Certainly.
We’ve created educational resources that explain Non-Emergency Medical Transportation, choosing the appropriate transportation service, and preparing for post-surgical medical appointments.
