North Carolina Medical Transport Questions

More questions answered →

What long-distance medical transport do you offer in North Carolina?
We move patients bed to bed anywhere in North Carolina, Charlotte, the Research Triangle, the Triad, the mountains around Asheville, and the coast. Your loved one travels in a real bed in a Mercedes Sprinter with a medical professional aboard the entire trip, and a family member rides with a real seat and a bed to rest on, right next to the patient. Trips run 200 miles and up, to any of the 48 lower states. Call 1-800-550-1025 to get started.
How do you coordinate medical transport with North Carolina's Research Triangle?
Duke, UNC, and WakeMed pickups and drop-offs are among our most common North Carolina trips. We coordinate directly with the discharge teams so the bed-to-bed handoff is smooth on both ends, whether the other end is Houston, Boston, or another state entirely. You make one call; we handle the hospital logistics.
Do you provide medical transport during North Carolina's hurricane season?
Yes, we transport year-round, hurricane season included. For coastal trips we track storms early and plan routes and timing around them, moving a trip up a day is far easier than riding out a storm. Inland routes through Charlotte and the Triad usually stay open even when the coast is disrupted.
How is long-distance medical transport in North Carolina priced?
It's private-pay: your family pays us directly and receives a same-day quote for your exact route, whether that's Raleigh to Houston or Charlotte to Boston. The quote you approve is the price you pay. CareCredit financing and veteran discounts are available. Call 1-800-550-1025 for your quote.
Can you transport a patient from North Carolina to another state?
Yes, most North Carolina trips cross state lines, commonly to Boston, Houston, Chicago, and Denver, and we cover all 48 lower states. Most transports can be scheduled within days, so a hospital discharge deadline is routine for us. Call 1-800-550-1025 and we'll take it from there.
