Frequently Asked Questions About Our Hospital Tranfer Services in NJ

We accommodate same-day transfer requests whenever possible and maintain capacity for urgent transfers. For recurring transfers like regular dialysis transportation, we can establish standing schedules that automatically repeat weekly or as needed.

Family presence can provide emotional support and help with communication, particularly for patients with cognitive challenges or those who are anxious about transfers. Please inform us when scheduling if a family member will be accompanying the patient so we can ensure the appropriate vehicle is assigned. There is typically no additional charge for one accompanying family member.
