What You Need to Know

What is a gurney transportation service and who needs it?
Gurney transportation service (also called stretcher or cot transport) is designed for patients who cannot sit upright in a wheelchair or standard vehicle. It is ideal for individuals recovering from surgery, bedridden patients, or those with severe mobility restrictions. Trained staff provide safe transfers, secure the gurney inside a specialized vehicle, and ensure comfort throughout the trip.
Unlike wheelchair transport, gurney transport allows patients to remain lying flat during travel. It differs from an ambulance because it is for non-emergency medical transportation (NEMT) — meaning no sirens or emergency care are required. Gurney services provide safe, comfortable, and cost-effective travel for medical appointments, hospital discharges, or long-distance transfers.
Yes, many Medicaid programs and some private insurance plans cover gurney transportation if it’s medically necessary. Coverage often depends on state rules, trip purpose (e.g., hospital discharge, dialysis, specialist visits), and provider eligibility. Aero NEMT can help verify coverage and provide the required documentation.
Booking is simple: Call Aero NEMT or use the online request form. Share patient details (bedridden, post-surgery, oxygen needs, etc.), pickup/drop-off address, and preferred date/time. Our team arrives with trained attendants, assists with safe transfers, and provides secure stretcher transport in an ADA-compliant vehicle. Advance booking (24–48 hours) is recommended, though urgent same-day requests are often accommodated.
