Private-pay planning guide
Stretcher private-pay price guide for Fairmont
MedicalRide planning rates use U.S. dollars and miles. For Fairmont, current private-pay estimates start with the base service amount, include the listed local miles when applicable, and then add mileage or access factors when the trip is longer or more complex. These are planning estimates before provider confirmation, not a guaranteed final customer price.
Regular local mileage is commonly modeled at $4.00/mi, longer-distance mileage at $4.00/mi, and after-hours mileage at $4.50/mi. Common add-ons include same-day coordination $30; after-hours timing $35; weekend timing $30; hospital discharge coordination $10; oxygen or equipment handling $20; stairs $30, $55, $100, or $70 when the count is not clear. wait time after the included 15-minute window at $30/hr for ambulatory rides, $70/hr for wheelchair or ambulette rides, and $135/hr for stretcher rides.
Fairmont pricing can change with exact entrances, parking or valet access, stairs, chair dimensions, oxygen, same-day timing, weekend or after-hours pickup, hospital discharge timing, wait-and-return needs, caregiver coordination, and longer regional mileage. Share full pickup and drop-off addresses, appointment or release time, mobility equipment, stairs, return plan, and contact details before requesting a price.
Stretcher transport example: $480 base including 7 miles + 1 added mile at $6.25/mi = about $490 before add-ons.
| Service type | Starts around | Included miles | Added mileage | Planning note |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Stretcher transport | $480 | 7 mi | $6.25/mi | For passengers who need to remain reclined or need bed-to-bed planning; staffing and access can change price. |
| Bariatric transport | $595 | 7 mi | $7.25/mi | For larger wheelchair or stretcher needs; final fit depends on passenger weight, equipment width, and lift capacity. |
