The Pricing StructureDue to government regulations, the pricing structure for van transportation has changed. As a result, the fare increased for rides more than 50 miles from the hospital. One additional adult rider per patient is allowed at no extra cost.
Van rides are also available for free to those who meet certain income guidelines. To obtain an “Application for Financial Assistance” form, call the Van Service coordinator at 1-800-258-1210. Pickup and Drop Off LocationsVans are scheduled to visit specific communities on specific days. Each Van Service community has a designated pick up location. The Van Service coordinator will confirm the time and place of pickup when the reservation is verified. Patients should be available 15 minutes prior to their scheduled pickup time. Due to time restrictions, the van can only wait five minutes after the scheduled pickup time. There may also be a delay on the return trip based on all passengers’ needs that day, especially if another patient’s appointment runs later than expected. In most situations, the van driver will make every effort to depart as close to the scheduled time as possible. Please keep in mind that other patients will be on the van with you. As a result, there may be stops on the way to the hospital so the van can pick up other patients. The drivers may also stop at a patient’s request anytime during the trip.
