United MedTrans, long-distance medical transport
Bedside to bedside, across state lines.
We drive patients lying down in a Mercedes Sprinter fitted with a real bed, with a nurse or medic and two professional drivers on board, from 200 miles to the other side of the country. Family rides along.
Or call any hour: 855-200-0604
- A nurse or medic on every trip
- Two professional drivers on every road trip
- Room for family on board
- All lower 48 states, 200 miles and up
- Open 24 hours, every day of the year
Moving a parent to a new facility, bringing someone home after a hospital stay, or getting a patient closer to family: when the trip is hundreds of miles and they cannot sit up the whole way, a car will not do and an ambulance is more than they need. That is the trip we make.
With over 50 years of combined experience in medical and patient transport, we plan every trip around the patient: a coordinator goes over the details with you and with both facilities before the van leaves.
Three ways to get them there.
-
By road, lying down
A bed in a Mercedes Sprinter, a nurse or medic beside it, and two professional drivers, for trips of 200 to 3,500 miles.
State to state transport -
By plane, with a nurse
For patients who can sit up for a flight: a nurse or medic travels with them, through the airport, on board and on to the door.
Commercial medical escort -
Facility to facility
Hospital discharge, a move to rehab or a care home, or the trip home: non-emergency transport, planned with both ends.
Non-emergency transport
How a transfer works.
Tell us the trip.
Where from, where to, when, and how the patient travels. Use the form or call any hour.
We plan it with both ends.
A coordinator gathers the medical details and talks to the sending and receiving facilities, and the doctor if needed.
Bedside pick-up.
The crew collects the patient from their bed, settles them in the van, and family takes the seats beside them.
Settled in at the other end.
Long trips can run more than a day, so pack a change of clothes. We hand over at the receiving bed.
A room on wheels.
Each Sprinter carries a bed for the patient, seats for family, the medical equipment the trip needs, and a flat screen and WiFi for the long hours. Our vans meet ADA and DOT standards.
On every trip
- A nurse or medic beside the patient
- Two professional drivers
- Seats for family next to the bed
- A coordinator who calls both facilities first

Trips families have taken.
Florida to Pennsylvania
My mother was transported from Florida to Pennsylvania. The staff was very friendly. ... The nurse who was with my mom was so gentle and caring. At one point, she was singing to her, which was so sweet.
Dave Tomko
New Jersey to Washington State
These folks did a great job transporting my mother in law and wife from New Jersey to Washington State. My mother in law is unable to fly due to medical conditions so we went ground transport.

Send us the discharge and we take it from there: our coordinator talks to your team and the receiving facility, confirms the pick-up time, and keeps both sides posted until the patient is settled in.
In families' words.
I'm so glad that I chose to go with United Medtrans. They went above and beyond for my father. ... I can honestly say that my father was treated as one of their own family members, Everyone was highly respectful and professional. Brenda the nurse was amazing!
Paige Stewart
I highly recommend United MedTrans - excellent company and fantastic service. I needed to coordinate medical transport for my elderly mother and over a very long distance. ... My mother has a variety of health issues and the team on board throughout the trip was patient, caring and responsive to all of her needs.

Great organization! Booked a medical transport for a family member last year from FL to NY. Transport was on time and staff was very professional. Would recommend for future service.

Questions families ask first.
How much notice do you need?
At least 24 hours if you can, so we can set the van up for the patient. Shorter notice is often possible when there are no special requirements.
Can family travel with the patient?
Yes. Each van has seats for family beside the patient's bed.
What should we pack?
Long trips can take more than one day, so bring a change of clothes and anything the patient likes to have close.
How far do you go?
From 200 miles to anywhere in the lower 48 states. There is no maximum distance.
