Introduction

For individuals who can walk but need assistance reaching medical appointments, ambulatory ride services offer a convenient and safe transportation solution. Ambulatory ride services in Tennessee provide non-emergency medical transportation (NEMT) for patients who don’t require wheelchairs or stretchers but still need a reliable way to travel to healthcare facilities. At Aero NEMT, we ensure that every patient receives prompt, professional, and comfortable transportation.

Why Ambulatory Ride Services Matter

Not everyone requiring medical transportation needs a wheelchair or stretcher. Many individuals, such as seniors, post-surgical patients, and those with mobility limitations, can walk with assistance but may not have access to safe and dependable transportation. Ambulatory ride services in Tennessee help these individuals attend doctor’s appointments, therapy sessions, and other medical visits without relying on public transit or family members. Reliable transportation reduces missed appointments, leading to better health outcomes.

FAQs

What You Need to Know

What are ambulatory ride services in Tennessee and who can use them?
Ambulatory ride services in Tennessee provide non‐emergency medical transportation for people who can walk (with or without aids like a cane, walker, or minimal assistance) and don’t need a wheelchair or stretcher. These rides help patients get to doctor appointments, physical therapy, labs, and other medical facilities safely and comfortably.
Yes, in many cases. TennCare’s Non-Emergency Medical Transportation (NEMT) benefit covers ambulatory rides for members who lack other means of transportation, as long as the medical appointment is for a TennCare covered service. Riders generally must schedule in advance (often 72 hours before the appointment) except in urgent cases.
To schedule ambulatory NEMT rides under TennCare, you or someone on your behalf should contact the appropriate NEMT broker (such as Verida or Tennessee Carriers). Be ready with your pickup address, appointment details, and mobility assist requirements. TennCare typically requires scheduling 72 hours in advance for non-urgent appointments. If a ride is urgent, different rules may apply.
Ambulatory rides usually include: Door-to-door service (driver helps you from your home entrance into the vehicle) Drivers trained for light assistance (help with steps, curbs, opening doors) Vehicles with easy step-in access Courtesy, reliability, and safety as priorities If you have additional mobility limitations (even if you don’t need a wheelchair), it’s good to describe them when scheduling so the broker/provider can prepare.
