Private-pay only. We do not bill Medicare or Medicaid.
Non Emergency Medical Ride provides scheduled, private-pay stretcher and gurney transportation in Santa Monica, California for medically stable passengers who cannot safely remain seated during travel. Families, caregivers, discharge planners, senior communities, rehabilitation teams, hotels, and care facilities may request coordinated transportation for hospital discharges, follow-up appointments, rehabilitation visits, care-setting transfers, and approved long-distance trips across California.
Each Santa Monica stretcher transportation request begins with a detailed trip review. We confirm the pickup and destination, hospital or facility instructions, residential or hotel entrance, loading access, elevators or stairs, passenger positioning needs, requested arrival time, equipment requirements, and the responsible contact at both ends of the trip.
This preparation is especially important for Santa Monica pickups from apartment buildings, condominiums, coastal hotels, private residences, assisted living communities, rehabilitation facilities, outpatient offices, and medical destinations near Wilshire Boulevard, Santa Monica Boulevard, Lincoln Boulevard, Pico Boulevard, and Ocean Avenue. Reviewing loading zones, elevators, hallways, parking limitations, and facility timing early helps reduce avoidable delays before a non-emergency stretcher van or patient transport gurney is assigned.
Stretcher transportation is a scheduled form of non-emergency medical transportation in Santa Monica for a medically stable passenger who must remain lying down and does not need emergency ambulance care. A transport stretcher or patient transport gurney offers positioning support that a car, taxi, rideshare, or seated wheelchair vehicle cannot safely provide.
It may be appropriate after hospital discharge, during post-surgical recovery, for facility-to-facility transfers, or when significant mobility limitations make seated travel unsafe. The passenger must be medically stable for non-emergency transport.
Every Santa Monica request is reviewed individually so the passenger’s required position, transfer conditions, route, building access, equipment, destination, requested timing, and companion needs can be evaluated before the private-pay ride is confirmed.
Scheduled medical stretcher transport from Santa Monica-area hospitals to a home, rehabilitation center, skilled nursing facility, assisted living community, or another approved destination after discharge readiness is confirmed.
