Celebrating our 28th year-and always remembering the back story
The year was 1997. Princess Diana died in a car crash, Mother Teresa died in Calcutta, Microsoft became the world’s most valuable company at $261 billion dollars, and Managed Medical Transport (MMT) transported its first patient from Erlanger Medical Center in Chattanooga, TN to a residence about 9 miles away. The patient paid $55 for […]
What is the difference between using an ambulance service and Managed Medical Transport for long distance medical transportation?
An ambulance is a mobile emergency room. They are well designed and equipped to be the liaison between the world and the hospital when you need specialized, acute care in a hurry. An ambulance isn’t designed for comfort but rather efficiency, critical care, and speed. The cost to operate them is outrageous. In addition, most […]
What are your geographical boundaries for transporting patients?
We are insured to cross state lines with an unlimited travel radius throughout the United States and Canada. We specialize in long distance, cross country trips with a minimum of 300 miles. If your needs are just under that minimum, sometimes it’s a good idea just to get a quote from us anyway. Often, people […]
Is it possible to have at least one female crew member on board?
Yes. The more notice that you can give us, the more likely that we are able to fill this request for the specific date and time that you need. Understanding Your Preferences At Managed Medical Transport, we recognize that comfort and familiarity are paramount, especially for elderly passengers during long-distance transportation. Having a female crew […]
What if my relative needs oxygen during the transport?
MMT is able to continue oxygen if the patient is already receiving it, or if they have orders to have it on standby (PRN). We are not able to initiate the use of oxygen without a doctors order however, since it is considered a prescription RX. Understanding Oxygen Needs During Transport When it comes to […]
Can two patients ride together in the same van?
No, we can accommodate one non ambulatory patient at a time. There is room for one additional person to ride along however, as long as the rider is independent and able to take care of themselves. Understanding Shared Transportation Needs When it comes to non-emergency medical transportation, accommodating the needs of each patient is our […]
Can I travel with the patient?
Yes. We have room for one additional person to ride along with the patient if they wish. They will ride in a leather captains chair that reclines, right next to the patient. There is never any extra charge for this. The only exceptions are if the rider is also a patient that needs care, or […]
How can I contact the office after hours?
The people who answer your questions and book transportation at MMT know our business inside and out. They’ve been on the administrative end as well as the patient care and transport end. Those are the individuals that we want you to reach when you call us. They will be able to give you the most […]
I am only able to call after work, when your sales/dispatch lines are closed. What can I do?
The best way to receive a quote or a call back after hours is through our email system. The email requests are sent directly to the on-call supervisor who will respond by email or phone, whichever you prefer. Alternative Communication Options If you find yourself needing urgent assistance but can only reach out after regular […]
