Non – Emergency Ambulance Services
Non-Emergency Ambulance Services, otherwise known as Medical Stretcher Services, transport non-emergency patients moving to, from, and between health care facilities for medically necessary reasons that are not a direct result of a sudden or unexpected deterioration in the patient’s condition. Non emergency transports do not manage life, limb,or function threatening conditions. Transports include hospital discharges for patients who are unable to use conventional means of transportation, or those requiring specialized equipment or treatment.
Private insurance plans have varying rules and requirements regarding coverage for non-emergency ambulance service. Virtually every insurance company, however, will require that non-emergency ambulance services be medically necessary. Private insurance does not cover transportation for the convenience of the patient or transports to preferred facilities or physicians. Insurance plans generally require prior approval or a doctor’s signature for transport. Specific origin and destination restrictions may apply. Be advised, select private insurance companies do not provide non-emergency medical transportation coverage.
When calling for non-emergency ambulance service, please be prepared to provide the call intake specialist with basic patient information as well as information concerning and the type of service being requested. Requests for ambulance transports that require advanced life support (ACLS) will require additional information be given to the call intake specialist regarding the patient’s condition and treatment required. National Ambulance is committed to providing hassle-free, efficient, punctual service for all non-emergency ambulance requests.

Plans will address the type of venue, number of individuals expected to be in attendance, geographical social and seasonal considerations, local EMS capabilities, and access, egress, and staging of EMS resources. Small events generally have one or two Field Providers assigned. Large events are normally staffed by EMTs and Paramedics. Size dependent, some larger scale events may require a Supervisor, First Aid Station, mix of ALS & BLS Ambulances, and other specialized vehicles as necessary.
Long Distance Medical Transport Services
Long Distance Transports are designed for any level of patient care whether transferring to a facility across our state or returning home across the nation. For long distance calls our ambulances are stocked with all the necessary medical equipment and supplies to effectively provide BLS, ALS and SCT level patient care by our certified EMTs, and Paramedics.

Critical patients requiring high level care will find everything they need with National Ambulance’s Specialty Care Transport Units (SCTU).

National’s SCTU have safely transported critical patients in Massachusetts and throughout the northeastern United States. Upon request for transport, our skilled staff will acquire all pertinent information critical for the success of the transport.. The SCTU team will meet and exceed all expectations and requirements of the patient.
Upon arrival at the sending facility, the SCTU team will collaborates with the medical and nursing staff to prepare the patient for transport. With the latest in specialty care transport technology, the patient is placed in one of National’s dedicated specialty care units. These vehicles are designed and equipped with the monitoring, pharmaceuticals, and durable and disposable supplies needed for patient care during transport. At destination, the SCTU team provides a comprehensive report on the patient’s condition while transferring care to the receiving medical and nursing staff.
Pediatric Transports
At National Ambulance, all units are implemented with equipment designed for pediatric care and transport such as pediatric immobilization devices as well as specialized attachments that modify the ambulance stretcher for safe and effective transport. All ambulances are equipped to to exceed the state mandated requirements for pediatric equipment such as nebulizers, and intubation supplies.

Mobile Integrated Health
National Ambulance is willing to partner with your health care system to develop a mobile integrated healthcare (MIH) solution that will better serve your system needs.
In light of the increasing cost and complexity of today’s health care, National Ambulance is seeking Health System partners that are willing to evaluate the effectiveness of Mobile Integrated Health as a special project. National Ambulance believes that MIH is as an option for delivering education and proactive care within a community. By coordinating with community health providers, National Ambulance believes that a customized program, protocols and procedures may be developed to identify the need for preemptive care and outreach solutions. As part of our mobile integrated healthcare vision, qualified patients may receive basic evaluations and treatment in the privacy and comfort of their own homes or health care facilities. National Ambulance believes that these groundbreaking programs will help solve many of our nation’s healthcare delivery challenges by increasing access to high-quality healthcare for all, especially benefiting disabled or homebound patients in urban communities.
Patients face a greater risk of readmission when discharge instructions are not strictly followed, particularly when the diagnoses are: congestive heart failure, acute myocardial infarction, hip and knee fractures, pneumonia and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). These hospital readmissions result in declining patient health, prolonged recovery time, and government-imposed penalties on the health system. National Ambulance’s mobile integrated healthcare vision provides a possible means to mitigate readmission rates, while improving the overall health of the community.
A possible add on options to MIH is Telemedicine. National Ambulance is seeking Health System partners that are willing to evaluate the effectiveness of Telemedicine. Another valuable component of mobile integrated healthcare is the ability to coordinate the skills of a paramedic combined with the technology of telemedicine to evaluate and treat patients in their homes. When a patient or caregiver is unsure if a patient’s symptoms warrant an emergency room visit, paramedics can evaluate these symptoms and the situation on-site and teleconference directly with a physician for further examination. The telemedicine technology provides a physician virtual access to the patient during the paramedic exam using webcams, on-board microphones and a specialized stethoscope.
