ambulette
Small patient vehicle
An ambulette is a vehicle designed to transport patients who need medical assistance but don't require the emergency care provided by an ambulance.
These are typically vans or small buses equipped with wheelchair lifts, stretchers, or other accommodations for people with limited mobility.
Ambulettes are commonly used to take patients to routine medical appointments, dialysis sessions, or between care facilities.
Medicare covers ambulette service for patients who can't use regular transportation.
