Amanda:
Hello! I’m a hospital case manager, and I’m helping arrange tomorrow’s discharge for one of my patients.
The patient isn’t ready to sit upright for the trip home, so I’m looking for Stretcher Transportation.
Can Aero NEMT help?
Aero NEMT:
Hello, Amanda!
Yes, absolutely.
We regularly work with hospitals, discharge planners, and case managers to arrange Stretcher Transportation for patients who need to remain in a lying position during scheduled transportation after leaving the hospital.
Amanda:
The patient is being discharged to their home, and their family will be there to receive them.
What information will you need from me?
Aero NEMT:
To help us coordinate the trip, we’ll typically ask for the patient’s pickup location, destination address, discharge time, and any important mobility information.
Providing complete details helps us prepare for the scheduled transportation.

Amanda:
The patient’s follow-up appointment is already scheduled for next week.
Can the family contact you to arrange transportation for that visit as well?
Aero NEMT:
Of course.
Many patients continue using Stretcher Transportation after leaving the hospital for follow-up appointments, specialist visits, rehabilitation, and other scheduled healthcare services.
Amanda:
Some families have never arranged medical transportation before.
Is there somewhere I can direct them for more information?
Aero NEMT:
Certainly.
We’ve published several educational resources to help patients and families understand Stretcher Transportation, Non-Emergency Medical Transportation, and how to prepare for scheduled medical travel.
