Every service we offer, in plain English.

No hidden fees, no medical jargon. Pick the row that describes your situation and you'll find pricing tiers, what's included, and what to bring.

Ambulatory car service

For patients who can walk with light assistance. One driver, sedan or minivan, door-through-door escort. Common uses: primary care visits, lab draws, X-ray, outpatient therapy, follow-ups after minor surgery.

Includes: escort to check-in desk, help with coats and belongings, wait-time up to 20 minutes at no charge.

Wheelchair van transport

Lift-equipped van for patients who use a wheelchair. Four-point tie-downs, lap and shoulder belts, lift capacity to 800 lb. Bring your own chair or we can provide a loaner ($10 flat).

Includes: loading, securement, verified transfer to clinic staff, and reverse trip home when scheduled together.

Bariatric transport

Reinforced vehicles with 800 lb-rated equipment. Two attendants included. Please tell us patient weight when booking so we can dispatch the correct unit — this is for the patient's safety, not a judgment.

Stretcher transport

For patients who must remain lying down. Two-attendant service, cot-mounted with railings, oxygen ready. Common uses: hospital-to-nursing-home, hospice transfers, bed-confined dialysis runs.

Long-distance medical transfers

Regional trips over 60 miles. Flat mileage rate, single confirmation call, driver stays with the patient for the whole route. Regular routes to St. Louis, Springfield, Evansville, Nashville, Paducah, and Cape Girardeau.

Recurring appointment blocks

For dialysis, chemo, and PT patients. We reserve a fixed weekly slot, assign the same driver whenever possible, and flag any schedule change 48 hours in advance.

Hospital discharge to home

Coordinated with case management. We wait for the doctor's discharge order, load durable equipment (walker, oxygen, hospital bed rental), and help settle the patient at home.

Adult day-program shuttles

Group runs to and from adult day centers. Contract pricing for facilities. Ask us for a per-seat quote.
