Our Services
What Medical Transportation Services Does FedNor Offer in Fitchburg?
FedNor provides wheelchair, stretcher, stair chair, ambulatory, senior, and recurring medical transportation in Fitchburg. Every service is door through door rather than curb to curb. The driver meets the passenger at the entrance, assists with boarding and securement, and escorts the rider into the destination lobby. Appointment waiting can be arranged for an additional fee.
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 Fitchburg?
FedNor wheelchair vans carry Fitchburg riders in their own manual or powered chairs, secured with a four point system. Tell us the chair type, approximate weight, pickup entrance, and any steps when booking so the correct vehicle and equipment arrive the first time.
Powered wheelchairs, tilt in space chairs, bariatric chairs, and motorized scooters up to 600 pounds can be scheduled. Our team plans around Route 2, Route 12, Main Street, and the hills around Rollstone and Cleghorn, allowing appropriate travel and loading time instead of treating the trip like an ordinary car pickup.
Stretcher Service
Can Patients Travel on a Stretcher in Fitchburg?
Fitchburg patients who cannot sit upright can travel on a professional Stryker stretcher with a trained attendant. This service supports scheduled hospital discharges, rehabilitation transfers, medical appointments, and long distance supine transportation.
The attendant coordinates the facility handoff, positions and secures the stretcher, monitors comfort during the ride, and completes the handoff at the receiving entrance. Stair chair assistance can bridge steps between a residence and the vehicle when arranged in advance.
The Basics
What Is Non Emergency Medical Transportation in Fitchburg?
Non emergency medical transportation in Fitchburg is for planned trips when a passenger needs more help than a taxi or rideshare provides but does not require an ambulance. Common trips include dialysis, infusion, radiation, wound care, surgery follow ups, rehabilitation, and hospital discharge transportation.
How Does NEMT Differ from Other Fitchburg Transport Options?
- Rideshare and taxi service does not provide wheelchair lifts, four point securement, stair chair equipment, or a trained medical transportation attendant.
- Public transportation follows fixed stops and schedules and cannot provide door through door help across Fitchburg.
- Fitchburg senior transportation programs may have limited hours, eligibility rules, or advance booking requirements and generally do not carry stretchers.
- Ambulance transport is reserved for emergencies and provides a different level of care at emergency transport 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 Fitchburg requires a 911 call to the Fitchburg 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 Fitchburg Rides?
FedNor is a private pay provider, which means Fitchburg 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.
