Common add-ons include same-day coordination $25; after-hours timing $30; weekend timing $25; hospital discharge coordination $10; oxygen or equipment handling $20; stairs $25, $55, $100, or $65 when the count is not clear. wait time after the included 15-minute window at $25/hr for ambulatory rides, $65/hr for wheelchair or ambulette rides, and $130/hr for stretcher rides.
