NO MEDICAL ADVICE

Not a Substitute for Professional Medical Care: Information provided by C&R Medical Carrier staff, including drivers and dispatchers, is for transportation coordination purposes only and does not constitute medical advice. Never rely on transportation staff for medical guidance or decisions.

  • Questions about your health conditions
  • Decisions about medications or treatments
  • Assessment of symptoms or medical concerns
  • Discharge instructions or post-procedure care

Driver Observations: While our drivers may observe and report concerning symptoms during transport, these observations are not medical assessments. Drivers will contact emergency services if they observe life-threatening conditions, but they do not provide medical evaluation or treatment.

MEDICATION DELIVERY DISCLAIMER

Pharmaceutical Responsibility: C&R Medical Carrier transports medications as prescribed by your healthcare provider and dispensed by licensed pharmacies. We do not:

  • Provide advice about medication use, dosage, or administration
  • Make determinations about medication appropriateness
  • Verify medication accuracy (this is the pharmacy’s responsibility)

Questions About Medications: Direct all questions about your medications to your prescribing physician or pharmacist. We transport medications safely but do not provide pharmaceutical expertise.

Medication Safety: While we follow FDA and state regulations for temperature-controlled transport, we are not responsible for medication effectiveness issues unrelated to transportation. Contact your pharmacist immediately if you have concerns about medication quality or safety.

PATIENT RESPONSIBILITY

Medical Clearance: Clients using our transportation services must be medically stable and cleared for non-emergency transport. Healthcare facilities are responsible for determining medical stability before discharge or transfer.

Following Medical Advice: We transport you to and from medical appointments, but we are not responsible for ensuring you follow medical advice, attend appointments, or comply with treatment plans. Healthcare decisions remain between you and your healthcare providers.
