Trip-Specific Estimate Based on actual service requirements

Pocomoke City has local primary-care and urgent-care locations, but many hospital appointments require travel to Salisbury, Berlin, Crisfield or another regional campus. Palmer reviews the exact destination, trip distance, appointment schedule, mobility level and return plan before confirmation.

A pickup may begin near Market Street and the riverfront, along 10th Street, near Ocean Highway, in a residential community, at a senior setting or at another approved Lower Shore location.

A local clinic address and a full hospital address are not interchangeable. Use the exact facility name, street address, entrance and department printed on the appointment instructions.
