Our Services
What Medical Transportation Services Does FedNor Offer in Braintree?
FedNor operates six medical transportation service lines for Braintree patients, all of them door through door. Capes and colonials with a front stoop, split entries with a half flight inside the door, and senior housing with a long corridor all put distance between the patient and the vehicle. Our drivers handle that distance, then escort the passenger to the check in desk at the other end.
Powered and Heavy Wheelchair Transport
Powered wheelchairs, tilt in space chairs, bariatric chairs, and motorized scooters up to 600 pounds with four point securement. Most area operators decline these chairs. We do not.
Stretcher and Stair Chair Service
Professional Stryker stretchers with a trained attendant for patients who cannot sit upright, plus stair chair assistance for walk ups, split entries, and narrow staircases.
Ambulatory and Senior Transportation
Accessible vehicles with full driver assistance at both ends for passengers who walk with a cane, walker, or crutches. Door through door, on your schedule.
Recurring Dialysis, Infusion, and Therapy Schedules
Standing schedules for dialysis, chemotherapy, radiation, infusion, wound care, and physical therapy. Same driver, same vehicle, same pickup window, every session.
Hospital Discharge and Inter Facility Transfers
Same day discharge pickups when the hospital calls in the afternoon. Contracted facility service with priority scheduling for skilled nursing homes and rehabilitation centers.
Wheelchair Service
Do You Offer Wheelchair Transportation in Braintree?
Our ADA compliant vans carry Braintree wheelchair users in their own chairs, secured with four point tie downs, from the pickup door to the appointment door. No transfer is required. Tell us the chair type, the chair weight, and whether steps sit at the entrance, and the right vehicle is assigned before the day of the ride.
Powered wheelchairs, tilt in space chairs, bariatric chairs, and motorized scooters up to 600 pounds are carried with four point securement, so a heavy chair never rules out a Braintree rider.
Stretcher Service
Can Patients Travel on a Stretcher in Braintree?
Braintree patients who cannot sit upright travel on professional Stryker stretchers with a trained attendant on board. Case managers at Braintree Rehabilitation Hospital on Pond Street and discharge planners at South Shore Hospital use this service for scheduled discharges, inter facility transfers, and long distance supine moves.
The attendant confirms positioning with facility staff, locks the stretcher into the vehicle system, monitors comfort for the full trip, and completes a staff to staff handoff at the receiving desk. Contracted facility partners receive priority scheduling for repeat transfers.
The Basics
What Is Non Emergency Medical Transportation in Braintree?
Non emergency medical transportation, shortened to NEMT, is prescheduled ground transport for patients whose condition rules out driving, transit, or a rideshare, but who need no ambulance. Braintree riders use it for dialysis, chemotherapy and radiation, infusion, wound care, post surgical follow ups, behavioral health appointments, and hospital discharges.
How Does NEMT Differ from Other Braintree Transport Options?
- Rideshare apps carry no lift, no tie downs, no wait, and no escort past the curb.
- The Red Line at Braintree and the 236 bus end at a stop rather than a front door.
- The Braintree Council on Aging van runs limited hours inside town and carries no stretchers.
- Ambulance transport answers emergencies and bills at emergency rates.
How Does FedNor Fill the Gap?
FedNor fills the gap between those options: scheduled, accessible, door through door, priced upfront, and available across town lines. Private pay riders book directly with a transportation company and skip the middleman.
NEMT is not an ambulance service. NEMT vehicles carry no paramedics and no clinical monitoring equipment. A life threatening condition in Braintree requires a 911 call to the Braintree Fire Department, not a van booking. FedNor Transportation is a private pay provider: rides are booked directly with us or billed to a partner facility, with rates quoted upfront and payment due upfront.
Eligibility
Who Books and Pays for Braintree Rides?
FedNor is a private pay provider, which means Braintree families, facilities, and case managers book directly and pay by the trip with no middleman in between. Four rider groups fit this model:
- 1Patients whose health insurance carries no transportation benefit.
- 2Families arranging hospital discharge rides, surgical drop offs, or post procedure pickups on short notice.
- 3Facilities such as skilled nursing homes, rehabilitation centers, and law firms that bill trips to an account.
- 4Riders who want door through door service, a specific pickup time, or a same day booking that rideshare apps and transit cannot deliver.
Because FedNor is private pay, you deal directly with us. You call, we quote the exact fare, and the vehicle is dispatched. Payment is due upfront, and one companion rides free.
