Palmer reviews each request around the actual reason for travel rather than treating every trip as identical. Common requests include:
- Driving patients to doctor appointments, specialist visits and diagnostic testing
- Transportation to and from outpatient surgery with facility release instructions
- Medical transportation for dialysis patients and recurring treatment schedules
- Medical transport from hospital to home after formal discharge
- Patient transfers involving rehabilitation, nursing or residential care settings
- Eligible long-distance patient transport planned in advance
After-surgery transportation requires more than a pickup time
Before reserving surgery transport, ask the facility whether the patient must leave with a responsible adult, whether a transportation company may collect the patient and how the release contact will communicate the discharge time.
When scheduled patient transport is not appropriate
Use emergency medical services when the passenger has urgent symptoms, requires clinical monitoring, needs emergency treatment or cannot safely wait for scheduled non-emergency transportation.
For a medical emergency, call 911.
