NON-EMERGENCY MEDICAL TRANSPORTATION THROUGHOUT OHIO

Did you know?

By 2030, the U.S. Census Bureau projects, more than 20 percent of U.S. residents will be 65 or older, compared with 13 percent in 2010 and just 10 percent in 1970. The demographic shift is even more dramatic in rural and rust belt communities in the Midwest, like north central Ohio.

Since 1970, the percentage of Richland County's population over the age of 65 has more than doubled from about 8 percent to about 19 percent. About 20 percent of residents in Crawford County, 18 percent of those in Ashland County and 17 percent of residents in Knox County were 65 years or older in 2017, according to Census Bureau estimates.

Needless to say, All American Ambulette Services is pleased and eager to continue supporting the needs of our growing senior population!

Does All American Ambulette Services provide hospital and emergency room transportation?

Yes, absolutely! All American strictly provides non-emergency medical transportation. However, that does not mean we don't support the mission of area hospitals. To the contrary, in addition to providing discharge transportation, we frequently take patients and residents of various skilled care and nursing facilities to area hospitals for a wide variety of treatments, procedures, follow-up appointments, and more.

Hospitals and medical centers that we frequently support include Avita Health System - Ontario Hospital, OhioHealth Mansfield Hospital, Akron children’s hospital, OhioHealth Shelby Hospital, Akron General Medical Center and more!

How will I be billed for transportation services?

If you are a private pay client requiring non-emergency medical transportation, you will pay on the day of transport. If you have an established account or signed All American Transportation Services Agreement, you will be invoiced as per the terms of the Agreement.

What forms of payment do you accept?

We currently accept cash, check, or credit card.

How much advance notice is required to schedule a transport?

To ensure proper accommodations, we request 24-48 hour advanced notice. However, we always do our best to accommodate short-notice requests. Please feel free to contact our office for availability.

Do you provide after-hour and weekend transportation?

Yes, with advanced notice we work to provide evening and weekend hours.

Can a family member or attendant go along to my appointment?

Absolutely! For your comfort and concern we welcome one family member or staff attendant to accompany you to appointments. Please inform our office of your companion when scheduling your appointment.

Can I bring personal items on my transport?

We will work to accommodate all reasonable requests. However, please understand that our primary mission is to safely and securely transport you to your appointment. Our drivers cannot be delayed in moving or carrying extra items. Further, for your safety, we cannot have unsecured items in the vehicle.

Can I travel in my own wheelchair?

Yes, of course. Your comfort is our desire. We welcome you to remain in your manual or electric wheelchair during transport.

Will the driver take me inside?

Yes, absolutely. Unlike other curb-to-curb or door-to-door services, to ensure your safety, we are a door-through-door service. This means we will take you from inside your residence to inside your appointment.

Will the driver stay with me during my appointment?

Because of our busy schedule, drivers will return once your appointment is complete. Out-of-area transports requiring our driver to wait will incur a “Waiting Fee.”

Should I call for a return before my appointment is finished?

No! Please contact us ONLY when your appointment is complete and we will expeditiously dispatch a driver for your return. If we arrive and you are not ready, causing our driver to leave, it can possibly lead to a longer wait time.

What should I do if I am unhappy with the service?

We welcome your feedback and suggestions for improvement. Please feel free to contact our office to share your thoughts and experience.
