Does Medicare Cover Dialysis Transportation Services?

Unfortunately, traditional Medicare does not cover ambulatory, wheelchair,  or stretcher van transportation to and from dialysis treatments. Medicare does, however, cover the cost of a non-emergency ambulance if the patient meets medical necessity. 

H&M Transport works with several Medicare Advantage plans that may cover the cost of transportation. These plans are managed by a Third Party Transportation broker such as Access2Care and SafeRide Health. If you have a Medicare Advantage plan with a transportation benefit managed by either of these brokers- you must schedule transportation through the broker and request H&M Transport as your preferred provider.

We understand that the cost of transportation to and from each appointment can get expensive through ride sharing apps. It can also put a strain on family and friends as they may not always be available when a ride is needed and often do not offer the door through door level of service to ensure passenger safety and comfort. 

That is why H&M Transport offers an affordable dialysis transportation for our clients. Our goal is to get you to your appointments safely, every time, without breaking the bank. Schedule your dialysis transportations today!

Financial Assistance Options for Dialysis Transportation

There are a variety of options to get financial assistance for dialysis transportations. The availability of these options depend on your unique situation, location, and income.

Here are some options for dialysis transportation financial assistance:

  1. American Kidney Fund – Grants of $200 offered every year to dialysis and transplant patients.
  2. NKF Virginia – Short-term financial assistance for individuals with chronic kidney and/or urologic disease in Virginia.
  3. VHA National Kidney Program – For veterans with acute or chronic kidney disease including dialysis.

We recommend meeting with the social worker assigned to you for more options that may fit your specific circumstances.
