Common questions
Do you go to the Inova Loudoun Cornwall campus and the ambulatory surgery center?
Yes. The Cornwall campus in Leesburg and the ambulatory surgery center are separate destinations from the Lansdowne hospital. Tell us which when you book.
How much notice should I give for a ride to Inova Loudoun?
More than elsewhere, because the next available vehicle may be a long way off. A day ahead is comfortable for an appointment, and facility discharges need three hours.
Can you bring a patient home from Inova Loudoun to a rural address with a gravel drive?
Yes, just tell us when you book. A ramp needs level ground, and gravel on a slope is not it, so the crew will plan where to stop.
Can you pick up at Ashby Ponds for an appointment at Inova Loudoun?
Yes. Senior communities like Ashby Ponds carry much of our recurring Loudoun volume. On a campus that size, give us the residence building rather than the campus address.
What if the appointment runs long or I don’t know my return time?
Book the return as a will-call. If you can, call dispatch a little before your appointment wraps up, and we’ll start a driver your way so you wait as little as possible. If you can’t call until you’re finished, that’s fine: we’ll route the closest available driver, and our standard is to pick you up within 45 minutes of your call. The earlier you call, the shorter your wait. If you’d rather have the driver wait on site, prescheduled wait time is $75 an hour for wheelchair trips and $100 an hour for stretcher trips.
Do you transport patients on isolation precautions, such as C. diff, MRSA or COVID?
Yes, with notice. Tell us about any isolation precautions when you book. The crew wears the protective equipment the precautions call for, and the vehicle is disinfected after the trip. An additional charge applies, and dispatch will quote it when you book.
How do I ask for H&M Transport through Virginia Medicaid?
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. Covered rides to medical appointments cost the member nothing.
