Stretcher Transportation in Leesburg, VA

What our stretcher service includes in Leesburg

Stretcher transportation is for riders who cannot sit upright safely for the length of the trip. We run it bed-to-bed: the crew comes to the room, not the front door.

• Two crew on every trip. Moving an adult between a bed and a cot is not a one-person job, so every stretcher trip has two trained crew members.
• Power-assisted cots. Our stretcher vans carry power-assisted Stryker cots that raise and lower the rider smoothly and ride flat or reclined.
• Bed to bed. The crew transfers the rider from the bed to the cot, out to the van, and at the other end into the bed, chair or exam table waiting for them.
• Trained crews. Stretcher crews complete the NEMTAC Certified Stretcher Operator course, and every employee passes a criminal background check and drug screening.
• Accredited. H&M Transport was the first NEMT provider in Virginia to earn NEMTAC accreditation.

There is no medical care on board, which is why a stretcher van costs a fraction of an ambulance and can be scheduled like any other appointment.

Leesburg hospitals and discharges

Most of our Leesburg stretcher discharges leave Inova Loudoun Hospital at 44045 Riverside Parkway in Lansdowne. Downtown, the Inova Loudoun Hospital Cornwall Campus on Cornwall Street NW handles behavioral health, imaging and rehab services, and we run stable transfers from there too. The two campuses are separate sites, so name the campus and the unit and the crew goes to the room.

We also take discharges from StoneSprings Hospital Center off Route 50 near South Riding and from Reston Hospital Center in Fairfax County.

For case managers, we commit to a three-hour maximum lead time and free cancellation up to two hours before pickup. We run scheduled transfers between facilities when the patient is stable. We do not move patients between hospitals for a higher level of care.

Rehab, skilled nursing and hospice

A large share of our Loudoun stretcher work is the move out of acute care. Reston Hospital Center has a dedicated 30-bed inpatient rehab unit for physical, occupational, speech and neuro rehab, a common next stop for Leesburg patients.

Downtown, Heritage Hall on Morven Park Road offers skilled nursing, short-term rehab, memory care, hospice and respite care. Loudoun Rehabilitation and Nursing Center on Old Waterford Road provides short-term rehab and long-term care; some listings still show an older name. East on Route 7, we serve the Johnson Center at Falcons Landing in Potomac Falls, the nursing and rehab care at Ashby Ponds in Ashburn, and Potomac Falls Health & Rehab Center in Sterling. We also run hospice discharges home.

For dialysis riders who can no longer manage a chair, we run standing stretcher schedules to DaVita Leesburg on the Cornwall campus and DaVita Lansdowne on Riverside Parkway.

Stretcher transportation prices in Leesburg

Every trip is a pick-up fee plus mileage, and the rates are the same everywhere we drive. These are our 2026 private-pay rates.

A ten-mile hospital discharge home is $260 plus $40 of mileage, so $300. A ten-mile round trip to an appointment is $230 plus five extra miles at $4.00 on each leg, so $250 each way and $500 in total. A discharge from Inova Loudoun Hospital to Loudoun Rehabilitation and Nursing Center on Old Waterford Road, about six miles, is $260 plus $24 of mileage, so $284.

Add-ons, named up front. Stair team, $75 each way. After hours (before 7am or after 6pm), $50. Prescheduled wait time, $100 per hour. Oxygen, $35 per 2L tank. Additional stop, $30. Credit card processing, 3%. We quote the trip before you book; the full rate card is on our rates page.

Why paratransit and rideshare are not options for stretcher riders

Public paratransit such as MetroAccess and the county services near Leesburg is built for riders who travel seated or in a wheelchair, and a rideshare or taxi needs the rider to sit up and get in on their own. A rider who has to travel lying down needs a stretcher van or, if they need medical care on the way, an ambulance. That is why most of our stretcher bookings come from discharge planners, skilled nursing facilities, hospice teams and families arranging a single important trip.

Getting a stretcher in and out of Leesburg homes

• Lansdowne Woods has high-rise and low-rise buildings behind a gatehouse staffed around the clock. Tell us the building, the entrance and whether the elevator takes a cot.
• Houses in Purcellville and Hamilton often have front steps or a long walk. Tell us the step count and whether the stairway turns; the stair team handles it.
• Senior campuses such as Falcons Landing and Ashby Ponds have separate buildings for nursing and memory care. Give us the building name.
• Oxygen. Tell us the flow rate when you book.

Who pays for a stretcher ride in Leesburg

Medicaid. If the rider is a Virginia Medicaid member and the trip is to a covered medical service, the ride should cost them nothing, and it is not booked directly with us. 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.

Medicare. Original Medicare does not cover a stretcher van. It covers ambulance transport when an ambulance is medically necessary and documented. Some Medicare Advantage plans include a limited transportation benefit; if yours does, book through the plan and ask for H&M Transport by name.

Private pay and facilities. Families booking directly pay the published rates above, and the quote is what you pay. Hospitals, skilled nursing facilities and hospices book on contracted rates, with a three-hour maximum lead time for discharges; see our facilities page.

Booking, notice and cancellations

• Same-day requests and discharges: call (703) 304-7889. We need a minimum of three hours notice, and we cover most requests inside that window. Booking 24 hours ahead guarantees availability.
• Trip details: tell us the room or unit, the destination, the rider’s weight, any oxygen and flow rate, and the number of steps at the home and whether the stairway turns.
• Stairs: when a stairway needs the stair team, it adds $75 each way.
• Weight: for riders over 300 lbs, select bariatric service so the reinforced cot is assigned.
• Changes and cancellations: cancel or change at least two hours before pickup to avoid a fee, by phone, by email at Reservations@hmtransport.com, or in our mobile app.

Does Virginia Medicaid cover stretcher rides with H&M Transport?

Can you bring a patient home to Leesburg from a DC or Maryland hospital?

Yes. We hold WMATC authority 3449 for trips between Loudoun County, the District and the Maryland suburbs.

Why are there two crew members?

Every stretcher trip has two trained crew so the transfer at both ends is safe.

Stretcher van or ambulance?

A stretcher van carries a stable rider lying down. It is not an ambulance: there is no medical care or monitoring on board, we do not take anyone to an emergency room, and we do not move patients between hospitals for a higher level of care. We do run scheduled transfers between facilities when the patient is stable, such as hospital to rehab or hospital to a nursing home. If this is a medical emergency, call 911.
