medical transportation
Healthcare transit service
Medical transportation is the conveyance of patients to and from healthcare appointments, treatments, or facilities.
It ranges from ambulances for emergencies to non-emergency services like wheelchair vans or stretcher vehicles for those who can't use standard transit: Medicare covers medical transportation to dialysis.
The term often appears in insurance contexts, where coverage distinctions matter.
