The Medicare office says this is not medically necessary transportation and will not cover costs, however, my relative does not have anyone to care for him at the current location. Can you help?

Medicare will not cover long distance non-emergency medical transport. They view this type of move as a move of convenience. Even though it is imperative that your brother be close to you…the only family who can care for him, Medicare sees that you are bypassing hundreds of “appropriate facilities” along the way and considers your move as a “move of convenience”, not an emergency. In addition to that, if a patient can safely travel by any other means than an emergency ambulance, Medicare does not view the transport as a medically necessary emergency transfer. Hiring an ambulance to make the transfer will not result in Medicare considering the transport unless something is being performed in the back of that ambulance that could not be performed in a lesser equipped vehicle. If a patient is transported in an emergency ambulance for a justifiable reason, the ambulance must transport to the closest appropriate medical facility for Medicare to consider reimbursement.

Can I pay in installments or will I receive a balance after the trip?

To book a transport and reserve a date, we require a 50% deposit that is fully refundable as long as we are given a 72 hour notice prior to the scheduled pickup time. The 50% balance is due on the business day before the transport. MMT does not bill out or finance transportation. We do, however, take most major credit cards, and allow you to split up the payments on as many as you choose.

Understanding Your Payment Options

When planning your medical transport with Managed Medical Transport, Inc., it’s essential to understand your payment options clearly. As mentioned, a 50% deposit is required to confirm your booking, which allows us to secure your date and time. This deposit is a commitment that ensures your transportation needs are prioritized. If you need to cancel or reschedule, the fully refundable nature of this deposit, provided you give us at least a 72-hour notice, offers peace of mind.

For the remaining balance, we encourage our clients to make arrangements that suit their financial situation. While we do not offer financing options, our policy allows you to split the payment across multiple credit cards, making it easier to manage costs. This flexibility can be particularly beneficial for families or individuals who may need to coordinate payments among several parties.

Additional Payment Considerations

It’s important to note that all payments must be completed by the business day before your scheduled transport. This ensures that we can process your payment and prepare for the journey without any delays. We accept most major credit cards, which provides you with a secure and convenient way to handle transactions. If you have any specific questions about the payment process or require assistance, our customer service team is available to help you navigate any concerns you may have.

At MMT America, we strive to provide not just transportation, but also a hassle-free experience from booking to arrival. Understanding your payment responsibilities can help you focus on what truly matters—getting the care you need when you need it.

Is it possible to split the cost of transportation?

Absolutely. We can split payments between family members and then send a paid invoice to each of you for your records. In addition, we can accept partial payment by credit card and the balance by bank wire or even check, but the check must be received in enough time prior to the transport to clear the bank.

Understanding Payment Flexibility

At Managed Medical Transport, Inc., we understand that managing transportation costs can be a challenge, especially for families who are sharing the responsibility. Our flexible payment options are designed to accommodate your needs, allowing you and your siblings to coordinate payments in a way that works best for everyone involved. Whether you prefer to split the cost evenly or designate specific amounts for each family member, we are here to facilitate that process smoothly.

Steps to Split Transportation Costs

To split the cost of transportation effectively, communication among family members is key. Start by discussing the total cost of the transport service and how you all wish to contribute. Once you have agreed on each person’s share, you can easily inform us of your payment preferences. Our team can provide you with a detailed breakdown of costs, ensuring that everyone is on the same page. After the transport is completed, each sibling will receive a paid invoice for their records, making it easy to keep track of payments made.

Additional Payment Methods

In addition to splitting payments, we offer various payment methods that cater to your convenience. Alongside credit card payments, you can opt for bank wire transfers or checks. If you choose to pay by check, please ensure that it is sent well in advance of the transport date. This allows sufficient time for the check to clear, preventing any last-minute issues. Our goal is to make this process as hassle-free as possible for you and your family, ensuring that your loved one receives the transportation they need without any unnecessary stress.

What types of payment do you accept?

We accept most major credit cards including Visa, MasterCard, Discover, American Express, as well as personal checks, cash, bank wire and bank debit cards. We DO NOT charge you a fee to pay us by credit card, it’s an expense that we absorb. The quote that we provide you, is the actual, bottom line price as long as the cities or states don’t change from the original quote.

Flexible Payment Options

At Managed Medical Transport, Inc., we understand that flexibility in payment methods can greatly enhance your experience. In addition to the major credit cards and cash options we’ve mentioned, we also offer the ability to set up payment plans for our services. This can be particularly useful for clients who require ongoing transportation services. By discussing your specific needs with our customer service team, we can tailor a payment plan that suits your budget while ensuring uninterrupted access to our reliable transport services.

Insurance Acceptance

We are committed to making our services accessible, which includes working with various insurance providers. Many of our clients find that their insurance plans cover a portion of their medical transport costs. If you have insurance, we recommend that you contact us to verify if your plan is accepted and what documentation may be required. Our team is here to assist you through the process and answer any questions regarding insurance claims and reimbursements.

Transparent Pricing

Transparency is a cornerstone of our business model. When you receive a quote from us, it includes all potential charges, ensuring that you won’t encounter hidden fees. We believe that clear communication about pricing helps build trust and allows you to make informed decisions regarding your transport needs. If your situation changes, such as adjustments in pickup or drop-off locations, we will provide a revised quote upfront, keeping you fully informed every step of the way.

Additional Payment Considerations

For those who may have special circumstances, such as elderly clients or individuals with disabilities, we are open to discussing alternative payment methods that may better suit their needs. Our goal is to provide a seamless experience, so please don’t hesitate to reach out to our customer service team for assistance. We are here to help ensure that your payment process is as smooth and straightforward as possible.
