Private-pay only. We do not bill Medicare or Medicaid.
Non Emergency Medical Ride provides scheduled private-pay transportation for medically stable passengers traveling from Bellflower homes, apartment communities, senior living residences, care facilities, and medical offices to hospitals, dialysis clinics, doctor appointments, rehabilitation programs, imaging centers, and outpatient facilities. Available ride types may include ambulatory assistance, transportation wheelchair service, stretcher transportation, senior medical transport, stair assistance, hospital discharge, and local or long-distance medical transportation.
Every request is reviewed before confirmation so mobility equipment, timing, entrance access, stairs, companion seating, and destination instructions can be planned. We are not an emergency ambulance service and do not bill insurance, Medicare, Medi-Cal, Medicaid, health plans, or NEMT brokers.
Emergency warning: Call 911 for chest pain, severe breathing difficulty, uncontrolled bleeding, loss of consciousness, or any immediate medical crisis.
Families, caregivers, discharge planners, and medically stable passengers in Bellflower use private medical transport when a personal vehicle, taxi, or standard rideshare cannot provide the access, space, equipment, or patient assistance required. Scheduling considers whether the passenger walks independently, uses a cane or walker, remains seated in a wheelchair, travels on a stretcher, needs stair support, or requires extra boarding time.
Pickup planning may include Bellflower Boulevard, Lakewood Boulevard, Artesia Boulevard, Alondra Boulevard, Rosecrans Avenue, Somerset Boulevard, Clark Avenue, Woodruff Avenue, and routes near the 91 and 605 freeways. Apartment access, gated entrances, elevators, stairs, medical-building loading zones, traffic conditions, and the correct facility entrance should be discussed before pickup so the ride can be reviewed accurately.
Each ride is arranged according to the passenger’s confirmed mobility needs, pickup access, destination requirements, trip distance, and scheduling details. Select the most relevant service below or contact the team when you are unsure which option is appropriate.
Accessible vehicle transportation for passengers who remain in a wheelchair during boarding and travel. Scheduling reviews wheelchair size, passenger weight when relevant, ramp access, stairs, pickup space, destination entrance, and companion seating.
Non emergency stretcher transportation for a medically stable passenger who cannot safely remain seated. Access, equipment, passenger dimensions, trip distance, receiving-party instructions, and discharge timing must be reviewed before confirmation.

Reliable service begins with accurate information and realistic planning.
