Private-pay only. We do not bill Medicare or Medicaid.
Non Emergency Medical Ride provides scheduled private-pay non emergency medical transportation in Pasadena for medically stable passengers who need more support than a standard car or rideshare. We coordinate rides from homes, apartments, senior communities, hospitals, rehabilitation centers, dialysis clinics, and outpatient offices across Pasadena and the San Gabriel Valley. Options may include ambulatory assistance, transportation wheelchair, stretcher, stair assistance, senior, dialysis, doctor appointment, hospital discharge, and long-distance transport.
Each request is reviewed for walking ability, mobility equipment, stairs, doorway and elevator access, pickup timing, destination instructions, return plans, and companion seating. We are a private-pay provider, do not bill insurance or government health programs, and do not provide emergency ambulance care.
Emergency warning: Call 911 for chest pain, severe breathing difficulty, uncontrolled bleeding, loss of consciousness, or any immediate medical crisis.
Families, caregivers, discharge teams, and residential communities use private medical transport when a passenger needs additional boarding time, wheelchair access, stretcher positioning, stair planning, or coordinated door-to-door assistance. Scheduling confirms whether the passenger walks independently, uses a cane or walker, remains seated in a wheelchair, or cannot safely travel seated.
Pasadena trips may involve Old Pasadena traffic, Colorado Boulevard, secured buildings, hospital loading areas, limited curb space, stairs, elevators, and multiple entrances. Share the exact address, unit or room, gate code, stair count, elevator status, pickup point, and destination entrance.
Services are matched to confirmed mobility, access, equipment, destination, timing, and distance. Review the options or call for help selecting a service.
Transportation wheelchair service for passengers who remain seated during loading and travel. Scheduling reviews wheelchair dimensions, relevant weight, ramp clearance, securement, stairs, entrances, pickup space, and companion seating.
Non emergency stretcher transportation may be reviewed when a medically stable passenger cannot remain seated safely. Confirmation depends on dimensions, access width, stairs, equipment, distance, discharge timing, receiving instructions, and availability.
Stair assistance must be planned in advance. Provide stair count and type, landings, turns, railings, doorway width, passenger mobility, equipment, and access conditions at both addresses.

Wheelchair, stretcher, bariatric, stair-assistance, and long-distance trips use different resources, so complete details are required for a private-pay quote.
