Common add-ons include same-day coordination $30; after-hours timing $35; weekend timing $30; hospital discharge coordination $10; oxygen or equipment handling $25; stairs $30, $60, $105, 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 $140/hr for stretcher rides.
