Not all transportation needs are covered by insurance. In many situations, individuals and families still need reliable transportation to medical appointments or other destinations. Private pay wheelchair transportation is available in the event that insurance does not cover the trip or when someone prefers to arrange transportation directly.
Private pay transportation allows you to schedule a wheelchair-accessible ride without going through insurance approvals or third-party transportation brokers. This can be helpful when insurance does not include a transportation benefit, when a trip is not considered medically necessary by the insurance provider, or when someone prefers to schedule transportation privately.
Wheelchair transportation is commonly used for trips to medical appointments, dialysis treatments, therapy sessions, hospital discharges, rehabilitation centers, and other local destinations. Our vehicles are equipped to safely transport individuals who remain seated in their wheelchair during the trip while ensuring the chair is properly secured.
Skyline Transport provides private pay wheelchair transportation throughout Hillsborough County and Pinellas County in Florida. Our team works with individuals, families, care facilities, and medical providers who need dependable transportation for wheelchair passengers.
If you are hoping to use insurance to cover transportation, you will need to contact your insurance carrier first to verify whether your plan includes a non-emergency medical transportation benefit. If the benefit is available, the insurance company will provide instructions on how the transportation should be scheduled. In many cases, the trip must be arranged directly through the insurance transportation provider or broker.
If insurance does not cover the trip, private pay transportation may still be an option so the individual can get where they need to go safely.
