Leaving a hospital or traveling there for a planned admission can create transportation needs that are different from an ordinary appointment. Non-emergency transportation can assist appropriate passengers traveling for hospital admissions, discharges, or transportation between a hospital and a residence or care facility. For individuals in Prince William County and throughout the Northern Virginia service area, this may be useful when a passenger needs transportation after completing hospital care but does not require emergency medical transport.
How It Works
The transportation supports the passenger’s scheduled movement to or from the hospital:
- Transportation to a hospital for an appropriate non-emergency admission
- Transportation from a hospital following an appropriate discharge
- Transportation between a hospital and a residence or care facility
- Assistance with entering and exiting the vehicle based on the passenger’s mobility needs
- Transportation arranged according to the passenger’s confirmed destination
What to Expect
The process begins when the passenger, family member, healthcare representative, or other appropriate party contacts the office with the hospital, pickup or discharge location, destination, and requested transportation details. Once the trip is scheduled, transportation is provided at the arranged time for travel to the hospital, residence, or care facility. For a discharge trip, transportation may be arranged after the hospital has determined that the passenger is ready to leave and the destination has been established.
