What is the minimum distance for your long-distance medical transport services?

We specialize in medical transportation for distances over 200 miles, including cross-country and coast-to-coast transport. Our services are specifically designed for interstate and long-haul journeys that require specialized medical care and comfort during extended travel.

How do you handle multi-state medical transportation journeys?

Our cross-country medical transport service operates nationwide with proper licensing in all 50 states. We handle all interstate requirements, provide consistent medical staff throughout the entire journey, and offer route planning that includes necessary medical stops and overnight accommodations for extended trips.

What are the costs associated with cross-country medical transport?

Long-distance medical transportation costs are primarily based on total mileage between destinations, the patient's medical needs, and any specialized equipment required. Unlike local services with hourly rates, our interstate transport operates on a comprehensive package pricing model, with many long-distance trips potentially qualifying for insurance coverage.

How far in advance should I book interstate medical transportation?

For optimal scheduling of cross-country medical transport, we recommend booking 7-14 days in advance, which allows proper coordination with medical facilities in different states, route planning, and arrangement of specialized equipment. For urgent interstate transfers, we offer expedited service when possible.

Can patients with complex medical needs be transported across state lines?

Yes, our interstate medical transport vehicles are equipped to handle patients with ventilators, feeding tubes, IV medications, oxygen requirements, and other complex medical needs. Our nationwide transport team includes critical care providers trained specifically for long-distance medical care during cross-country journeys.

How do you ensure patient comfort during cross-country medical transport?

Our long-distance medical transport vehicles feature hospital-grade stretchers with premium mattresses, climate control systems, entertainment options, frequent comfort breaks, and overnight accommodations for multi-day journeys. We prioritize patient dignity and comfort during interstate travel with significantly more space than standard ambulances.

ACC Medlink: The Preferred Choice for TLC "1000 LB Sisters" Reality TV Show

ACC Medlink appeared on the TLC television network reality show “1000 LB Sisters” to transport one of the cast members from Ohio to a doctor in Kentucky. Filmed in late 2022, ACC Medlink, four of its employees and the journey they took with Tammy Slaton were featured in episode 6 of season 4, which originally aired on February 21, 2023.

Tammy Slaton required medical treatment and surgery in Kentucky, roughly 280 miles from her home. In need of constant medical monitoring during the five hour trip, TLC enlisted the help of ACC Medlink to comfortably and safely get Tammy to her destination.

“Private medical transportation is a service that isn’t widely known until it’s needed – I had the pleasure of caring for Tammy during that trip,” said Erik Luna of ACC Medlink.

“As an EMT and driver for nearing a decade, I’ve met a lot of interesting people. Tammy is one of them. So are the aging individuals that need medical care to visit or move closer to loved ones. On the road 250 – 300 days a year, I get to be a piece of their journey and see a glimpse into the full life they’ve lived, as they cross state lines in a state-of-the-art medical transportation vehicle.”

ACC Medlink specializes in long-distance transportation for patients with complex medical conditions, providing a seamless experience for patients and their families. The company’s team of highly trained drivers, nurses and EMTS with a fleet of Mercedes Sprinter Vehicles are equipped to handle a wide range of medical needs, from routine medical transport to critical care transport. About 70 – 80 percent of their patients are aging adults, with the remainder needing personalized health care from one location to another.

“We are honored to have been able to assist Tammy and be a part of ‘1000 LB Sisters,’” said Mike Peat, CEO of ACC Medlink.

“We know moving loved ones when they’re not fully independent or healthy is stressful and overwhelming. We are proud to have helped Tammy and grateful for the attention on this highly specialized need within the healthcare industry.”
