Tewksbury sits along the Route 133 and Interstate 495 corridor, and our drivers plan around that traffic before the vehicle leaves the yard. 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 Tewksbury?
FedNor operates six medical transportation service lines for Tewksbury patients, and every one runs door through door. Many Tewksbury homes are set well back from the road with long driveways, and split level ranches common in town often put a short flight of steps between the driveway and the front door. Our drivers pull up to the door when the driveway allows, and bring a stair chair when steps get in the way, 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 Tewksbury?
Our ADA compliant vans carry Tewksbury wheelchair users in their own chairs, secured with four point tie downs, from the pickup door to the appointment door. No transfer is required, which matters on the long driveways and split level entries common in town. Tell us the chair type, the chair weight, and whether steps sit between the door and the driveway, and we assign the right vehicle before the day of the ride.
FedNor also carries powered wheelchairs, tilt in space chairs, bariatric chairs, and motorized scooters up to 600 pounds with four point securement. A Tewksbury rider turned away elsewhere over chair weight gets a direct answer here: confirm the weight on the call, and the right van is dispatched.
Stretcher Service
Can Patients Travel on a Stretcher in Tewksbury?
Tewksbury patients who cannot sit upright travel on professional Stryker stretchers with a trained attendant on board. Families arranging a discharge from Lowell General Hospital or Lahey Hospital and Medical Center back to a Tewksbury home use this service for scheduled discharges 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. Where a short entry staircase stands between the driveway and the door, our stair chair service closes that gap safely first.
The Basics
What Is Non Emergency Medical Transportation in Tewksbury?
Non emergency medical transportation, shortened to NEMT, covers prescheduled ground transport for patients whose condition rules out driving, transit, or a rideshare, but who need no ambulance. Tewksbury riders use it for dialysis, chemotherapy, infusion, wound care, post surgical follow ups, and hospital discharges.
How Does NEMT Differ from Other Tewksbury Transport Options?
- Rideshare apps carry no lift, no tie downs, no wait, and no escort past the curb.
- The Lowell Regional Transit Authority routes reach parts of Tewksbury on a limited schedule and end at a stop rather than a front door.
- The Tewksbury Council on Aging van covers limited hours and does not carry 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 Tewksbury requires a 911 call to the Tewksbury 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 Tewksbury Rides?
FedNor is a private pay provider, which means Tewksbury 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.
