Medical transportation in Lexington, MA means prescheduled ground transport, without an ambulance, for patients traveling to appointments, treatments, and discharges. FedNor Transportation, LLC serves all of Lexington, from the Center and East Lexington out to Countryside, Peacock Farm, and Five Forks. Lexington has a large population of older residents living in single family homes set well back from the road, which is precisely the situation where a curb to curb ride fails and a door through door ride works. Call 781.552.4559, seven days a week from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM.
Our Services
What Medical Transportation Services Does FedNor Offer in Lexington?
FedNor operates six medical transportation service lines for Lexington patients, all door through door. Split entry ranches with a half flight at the door, colonials with a long front walk, and condominium buildings around the Center each present a different obstacle between the patient and the vehicle. Our drivers handle that stretch, 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 Lexington?
Our ADA compliant vans carry Lexington wheelchair users in their own chairs, secured with four point tie downs, from the pickup door to the appointment door. Nobody transfers out of their chair, because that is where fractures, shoulder injuries, and falls happen. Tell us the chair type, the chair weight, and whether steps sit at the entrance, and the right vehicle is assigned before the morning 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 Lexington rider.
Stretcher Service
Can Patients Travel on a Stretcher in Lexington?
Lexington patients who cannot sit upright travel on professional Stryker stretchers with a trained attendant on board. Discharge planners at Lahey Hospital and Medical Center in Burlington, Winchester Hospital, and Emerson Hospital in Concord use this service for scheduled discharges, transfers into rehabilitation facilities, and long distance supine moves.
The attendant confirms positioning with facility staff, locks the stretcher into the vehicle system, monitors comfort throughout, 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 Lexington?
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. Lexington riders use it for dialysis, chemotherapy and radiation, infusion, wound care, post surgical follow ups, memory care and adult day programs, and hospital discharges.
How Does NEMT Differ from Other Lexington Transport Options?
- Rideshare apps carry no lift, no tie downs, no wait, and no escort past the curb.
- The 62, 76, and Lexpress routes end at a stop rather than a front door and run on limited schedules.
- The Lexington Human Services van covers limited hours and geography 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 Lexington requires a 911 call to the Lexington 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 Lexington Rides?
FedNor is a private pay provider, which means Lexington 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.
