Private-Pay Patient Transportation
Non Emergency Medical Ride provides scheduled private-pay non emergency medical transportation in Santa Monica 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 Santa Monica and the Westside of Los Angeles.
Reviewed options may include ambulatory assistance, transportation wheelchair, stretcher, stair assistance, senior, dialysis, doctor appointment, hospital discharge, local, and long-distance medical transport. We 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, stroke symptoms, or any immediate medical crisis.
Share the practical trip details. Submission does not confirm transportation.
Families, caregivers, discharge teams, senior communities, and outpatient offices 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.
Santa Monica trips may involve Wilshire Boulevard, Santa Monica Boulevard, Ocean Avenue, downtown traffic, secured residences, hospital loading zones, 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.

Ambulatory transportation supports passengers who walk independently or with a cane, walker, or limited assistance and need scheduled rides to appointments, outpatient care, rehabilitation, or follow-up visits.
Hospital discharge transport may go to home, rehabilitation, assisted living, skilled nursing, a hotel, or another approved destination after the passenger is stable and discharge, access, and mobility details are ready.
Cost depends on service type, mobility, equipment, mileage, Santa Monica traffic and travel time, access, stairs, appointment or discharge timing, wait time, return plans, and vehicle availability. Wheelchair, stretcher, bariatric, stair-assistance, and long-distance trips use different resources, so complete details are required for a private-pay quote.
We are private pay and do not bill Medicare, Medi-Cal, Medicaid, private insurance, health plans, or NEMT brokers. Payment is arranged directly by the passenger or authorized payer after mobility, access, equipment, timing, and distance are reviewed.
Older adults in Santa Monica may need transportation for primary care, specialists, dialysis, physical therapy, imaging, outpatient procedures, follow-up visits, hospital discharge, or transfers between home and a residential care setting. Our patient-first approach allows additional time for boarding, mobility securement, and communication with the passenger, family, or facility contact.
Tell us whether the passenger walks, uses a cane or walker, remains in a wheelchair, encounters stairs, or requires stretcher positioning. Include building access, appointment or discharge timing, return plans, equipment dimensions, and companion needs. Up to two family members may ride when the assigned vehicle and equipment configuration permit.
Reliable transportation requires complete information and realistic scheduling. We review addresses, mobility, stairs, equipment, facility instructions, timing, distance, return needs, and companion seating. Report changes promptly because the trip may require reassessment.

Long-distance medical transportation may be reviewed from Santa Monica to another California city or an approved out-of-state destination.
