Stretcher Transportation in Manassas, VA

What our stretcher service includes in Manassas

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.

Manassas hospitals and discharges

UVA Health Prince William Medical Center at 8700 Sudley Road is the source of most of our Manassas stretcher discharges. Parking is free, and the main lobby is open from 6 a.m. to 8 p.m.; after that, the emergency and admitting entrance is the way in, so we coordinate late discharges with the floor. UVA Health Haymarket Medical Center on Heathcote Boulevard is the other nearby hospital.

Manassas patients are also discharged from Inova Fairfax and Inova Fair Oaks and brought home to Prince William County, and we run those trips daily. For case managers, we commit to a three-hour maximum lead time and free cancellation up to two hours before pickup.

Rehab, nursing care and hospice in Manassas

Birmingham Green on Centreville Road, a 54-acre campus with nursing care, assisted living, rehabilitation and memory care, is one of our most frequent stretcher destinations. We run scheduled transfers between facilities when the patient is stable, such as hospital to rehab or hospital to a nursing home, and hospice discharges home across Prince William County.

For dialysis riders who can no longer manage a chair, we run standing stretcher schedules to DaVita CDC Manassas on Lomond Drive and Fresenius Kidney Care Manassas on West Courthouse Road.

Stretcher transportation prices in Manassas

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 Fairfax home to Manassas, about 20 miles, is $260 plus $80 of mileage, so $340.

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 Manassas 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 Manassas homes

• Townhouses across Manassas and Manassas Park often have steps at the door and a turn at the top of the stairs. Tell us the step count and the layout, and we send the stair team when needed.
• Rural addresses toward Nokesville may have long gravel drives. Tell us, so the crew knows where the van can stop and how far the cot travels.
• Facilities. At Birmingham Green, tell us the building so the crew goes to the right entrance.
• Hospital beds at home. Let us know where the bed is set up so the crew can plan the route from the door.

Who pays for a stretcher ride in Manassas

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. See our Virginia Medicaid transportation guide.

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.

How much does stretcher transportation cost in Manassas?

A round trip is $230 per leg with five miles included each way and $4.00 per additional mile. A one-way or discharge trip is $260 plus $4.00 per mile. A ten-mile discharge is $300.

How fast can you arrange a stretcher discharge in Manassas?

Can you pick up at UVA Health Prince William after 8 p.m.?

Yes. After the main lobby closes, the pickup is through the emergency and admitting entrance, so tell us the unit and we coordinate with the floor.

Do you move patients from the hospital to Birmingham Green or another facility?

Yes, when the patient is stable. We do not move patients between hospitals for a higher level of care.

Does paratransit carry stretcher riders in Manassas?

No. OmniRide Access and other paratransit carry seated and wheelchair riders. A rider who must travel lying down needs a stretcher van or an ambulance.

Why are there two crew members?

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

Does Medicaid cover stretcher rides in Manassas?

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.

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.
