Susan:
Hello! I recently had a knee replacement at a hospital in Philadelphia. My surgeon told me I’ll need several follow-up appointments and physical therapy sessions over the next few months. I’m still using a wheelchair for longer distances. Does Aero NEMT provide Wheelchair Transportation for patients recovering from joint replacement surgery?
Aero NEMT:
Hello, Susan!
Yes, absolutely.
Our Wheelchair Transportation service is designed for patients recovering from knee replacement surgery, hip replacement surgery, orthopedic procedures, and other medical conditions that temporarily affect mobility.
Susan:
That’s wonderful.
My first follow-up appointment is next week, and physical therapy starts two days later. Can transportation be arranged for both appointments?
Aero NEMT:
Of course.
Many patients recovering from orthopedic surgery schedule recurring Non-Emergency Medical Transportation for surgeon visits, physical therapy sessions, imaging appointments, and rehabilitation.
You can learn more about our Wheelchair Transportation service by visiting our service page.
Susan:
Some therapy appointments are scheduled early in the morning.
Can I reserve transportation for my entire rehabilitation schedule?
Aero NEMT:
Yes.
Many patients choose recurring transportation so they don’t have to arrange every trip individually. We’ll work with your appointment schedule to provide dependable transportation throughout your recovery.
Susan:
I’m hoping I’ll be walking with a cane in a few months.
If I no longer need a wheelchair, can my transportation service change?
Aero NEMT:
Absolutely.
As your mobility improves, we’ll review your transportation needs. Many patients transition from Wheelchair Transportation to Ambulatory Transportation during their recovery.
Susan:
That’s reassuring.
Do you also provide transportation for follow-up X-rays if my surgeon requests them?
Aero NEMT:
Yes.
We provide Medical Transportation to orthopedic clinics, imaging centers, physical therapy facilities, hospitals, outpatient surgery centers, and many other healthcare providers throughout Philadelphia.
Susan:
I’ve never used Medical Transportation Services before.
Do you have any information explaining how everything works?
Aero NEMT:
Yes.
We’ve created several educational resources explaining Non-Emergency Medical Transportation, how to choose the right transportation service, and how patients can prepare for medical appointments.
