Choosing a non-emergency medical
transportation service depends much on the cost as it depends on the quality of
service offered. In cases of emergency, we generally end to paying those extra
bucks. Some key points should be kept in mind while choosing a service of your
choice.
It is unlikely that everyone
chooses their emergency or non-emergency private medical transport service as
per their wishes. It almost always happens in a hurry when a medical crisis
arises and the ambulances or air ambulances charge you way more than they
ideally should. Prior information on the subject can help you make an informed
decision when selecting a credible medical transportation company.
Most medical insurance
companies do not cover the costs of the medical transport services and especially
the non-medical ones. These companies allow for insurance only in the event of
an emergency that needs to be immediately looked after.
Private medical transportation
services might end up getting a bit expensive but you must get that noted down
with your medical insurance company. Before signing, confirm which services are
really covered.
Also, make sure to avoid the
ones that appear to be offering private medical transportation services at
throwaway prices. You have to look into the services provided by them during
the journey to the hospital or nursing home.
Before choosing a medical transportation
service, see to it that the vehicle is equipped with at least two professionals
– a paramedic and a nurse. The vehicle must have the necessary equipment (dialysis and respiratory equipment, for example) for a patient in need of immediate
services during the journey.
Do not hesitate to ask some
tough questions about the quality of service, insurance cover and other such
parameters.
