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 you would closer in, because the next free vehicle may be a long way off. Three hours is the same-day minimum and a day ahead guarantees the ride; for a western Loudoun pickup, book early.
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 an appointment at Inova Loudoun runs late?
Make the return a will-call. Calling dispatch near the end of the visit starts a driver toward Lansdowne; call once you’re ready and a driver gets to you within 45 minutes. Prescheduled waiting costs $75 an hour for wheelchair trips and $100 an hour for stretcher.
Do you carry Inova Loudoun patients on isolation precautions?
We do, with notice: mention C. diff, MRSA, COVID or any other precaution when booking. The crew wears the needed protective equipment, the vehicle is disinfected after, and dispatch quotes the added charge.
Does Virginia Medicaid cover a ride to Inova Loudoun?
Yes. A covered appointment at Lansdowne, Cornwall or the surgery center is free to the member, even from the far western end of the county, but Medicaid arranges the trip. 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.
