What Is Non-Emergency Stretcher Transport?
Non-emergency stretcher transport provides safe, scheduled transportation for patients who must remain reclined or lying during travel. It fills the critical gap between emergency ambulance services and standard mobility-based transportation — no sirens, no urgency, but the same level of professional care.
Unlike standard NEMT, stretcher transport requires specially equipped vehicles, trained transfer staff, and a structured process from the patient’s bed to their destination.
