Frequently Asked Questions About Our Medical Appointment Transportation Services in NJ

Many insurance plans provide coverage for medical appointment transportation as a healthcare benefit, though eligibility requirements vary. Medicaid and NJ FamilyCare recipients typically qualify for NEMT services through ModivCare for covered healthcare appointments when they lack other transportation means. Medicare Advantage plans often include transportation benefits for routine medical appointments, though Original Medicare does not cover non-emergency medical transport except for certain limited circumstances. Private insurance coverage varies significantly by plan. To verify your coverage, contact us at 267-309-8672 with your insurance information and we’ll check your benefits and handle any required prior authorization.

Yes, we provide medical appointment transportation for early morning appointments including those requiring fasting for bloodwork or procedures. Early morning pickups are common for pre-surgical appointments, fasting glucose tests, and other time-sensitive medical appointments. When scheduling, let us know your early morning pickup needs and we’ll ensure a driver is assigned to arrive at the necessary time to get you to your appointment punctually.

Healthcare appointments often run longer than scheduled due to provider delays or unexpected issues discussed during visits. We offer several options to accommodate variable appointment lengths. Our wait time service allows the driver to remain at the facility for appointments expected to last under two hours, with nominal fees for extended wait times beyond the first 30 minutes. Alternatively, you can call our dispatch when your appointment concludes and we’ll send a driver to pick you up, typically within 30-45 minutes. For recurring appointments where you learn typical duration, we can adjust scheduling to better match your actual needs.

Yes, we frequently provide medical appointment transportation for patients with multiple appointments scheduled on the same day. This is common when patients see multiple specialists in the same medical complex or have appointments at different facilities in close proximity. We can wait between appointments if timing is tight or schedule specific pickup times if there are gaps between visits. This consolidated approach is often more convenient and cost-effective than scheduling separate trips for each appointment. When booking, provide details of all appointments so we can create an efficient transportation plan.

We understand that medical appointments get cancelled or rescheduled frequently. If you cancel or reschedule with more than 24 hours notice, there is no cancellation fee and you can rebook for another date at no penalty. For cancellations with 6-24 hours notice, a minimal rescheduling fee may apply. Cancellations with less than 6 hours notice incur a cancellation fee, typically 50% of the service cost. However, we waive cancellation fees for medical emergencies, doctor-initiated cancellations, or weather-related safety concerns. To cancel or reschedule, contact us at 267-309-8672 as soon as you learn your appointment has changed.

Our PASS-certified drivers are trained in proper wheelchair securement techniques and passenger assistance. The vehicles have climate control, adequate space for electric or manual wheelchairs of various sizes, and can accommodate one accompanying caregiver or family member. When scheduling medical appointment transportation, inform us that you require wheelchair accessibility and we’ll ensure the appropriate vehicle is assigned.

Yes, we encourage caregivers or family members to accompany patients to medical appointments when appropriate. This is especially helpful for patients who may have difficulty understanding medical information, those with cognitive challenges, elderly patients who benefit from familiar company, or anyone who simply prefers to have support during healthcare visits. There is typically no additional charge for one accompanying person. Please inform us when scheduling if someone will be accompanying you so we can ensure adequate vehicle space.

Yes, we can transport patients who require oxygen during medical appointment transportation. Our vehicles can safely accommodate portable oxygen tanks and concentrators.
