Do you pick up at Inova Loudoun Hospital?
Yes, for appointments and discharges, with three hours notice for a discharge. Tell us whether it is the main hospital or the surgery center in Physicians Building II.
How is this different from Loudoun County Transit paratransit?
The county service is curb-to-curb, shared, booked a day or more ahead and limited to bus hours, and it requires an application. We need no certification, take same-day rides with three hours notice, and help the rider from the door to the appointment.
Can you take Ashburn riders to Fairfax, Reston or DC?
Yes. We drive across Northern Virginia and, under WMATC authority 3449, into DC and the Maryland suburbs at the same rates.
Can the rider stay in their own wheelchair?
Yes. We secure manual and power wheelchairs and scooters with a four-point strap system. If the rider does not have a suitable chair, we bring one.
Can we set up rides to dialysis three times a week?
Yes. A standing order keeps the schedule on our books without rebooking each week.
Does Medicaid cover wheelchair rides in Ashburn?
For covered medical trips, yes, and the rider pays nothing. Call the transportation number on your Medicaid ID card; the brokers we work with are MTM Health and SafeRide Health. Request H&M Transport specifically when you book your ride.
