What Is Ambulatory Transportation Used For?

Short Answer
Learn what ambulatory transportation is used for and what types of healthcare trips it can support.

Ambulatory transportation is used for individuals who can walk independently or with minimal assistance but need reliable transportation to healthcare-related destinations. It can help passengers travel to doctor appointments, medical facilities, therapy sessions, diagnostic testing, and other scheduled healthcare visits.

Unlike wheelchair transportation or stretcher transportation, ambulatory transportation is generally intended for passengers who do not need to remain in a wheelchair or on a stretcher during the trip.

Passengers can provide their pickup location, destination, appointment details, and mobility requirements when arranging transportation.
