Service types available
Stretcher keeps a patient fully reclined. Wheelchair / accessible van suits many dialysis and clinic trips when sitting is safe. Ambulette usually means a wheelchair-accessible van without a stretcher. Assisted / door-to-door adds hands-on help from the curb into the home or room. The right mode depends on mobility, stairs, and clinician guidance—not every trip fits every vehicle.

Pricing expectations (private-pay)
Washtenaw County wheelchair NEMT often quotes $95–$260 locally; stretcher segments may track $780–$1,320+.
Ranges are not quotes. Submit a request so independent providers can confirm availability and finalize pricing for your exact mileage, access, and timing.
Planning tools & calculators
Use these utilities to rough out timing and private-pay pricing before you request confirmed availability. Estimates are informational; final quotes depend on provider review.
Private-pay trip estimate
Pulls the same pricing engine as intake. Add full street addresses for the most accurate mileage; city + ZIP still produces a directional estimate.
Pickup buffer planner
Rough rule-of-thumb for when to aim to leave the curb if you must arrive by a fixed appointment. Does not replace facility instructions—MI traffic and hospital discharge paperwork vary.
Plan to be rolling toward pickup roughly 40 minutes before you need to arrive. That suggests a target wheels-up near 13:20 if traffic is typical—not a guarantee.
Road-time estimator (drive only)
Highway-heavy medical routing often averages between ~48–62 mph including slower segments. This excludes lift time, rest stops, and handoffs.
Approx. 82–106 minutes of driving (1.4–1.8 hours). Add 30–90+ minutes for stretcher load/unload on longer trips.
