PROVIDING Non-Emergency MEDICAL TRANSPORTATION to Hospitals & Nursing Homes

Did you know?

By 2030, Ohioans, ages 60 and older, will make up 26.3% of Ohio's total population. Rural counties in the Northeast, Northwest and Southeast areas of the state have the highest proportion of older Ohioans. The state's housing costs are significantly lower than the national average, making it an attractive option for seniors who want to stretch their retirement savings. The cost of healthcare in Ohio is also lower than the national average, which can help seniors save money on medical expenses.

Seven Hills is also one of just 11 Ohio cities where at least one-fourth of the residents are age 65 and older. In Seven Hills, an estimated 26.6% of the residents are at least 65. The other cities where at least a fourth of the residents are 65 are Columbiana (30.7%), Beachwood (29.8%).

Needless to say, Beachwood Transportation is excited, poised, positioned, and prepared to continue serving our growing area senior population!

Does Beachwood Transportation provide hospital and emergency room transportation?

Yes, absolutely! Beachwood Transportation strictly provides non-emergency medical transportation, however, that does not mean we don't support the mission of area hospitals. To the contrary, we frequently take patients and residents of various nursing facilities to area hospitals for a wide variety of treatments, procedures, and more to include providing discharge transportation.

Hospitals and medical centers that we frequently support include Cleveland Clinic - South Pointe Hospital, Cleveland Clinic - Marymount Hospital, Cleveland Clinic Main Campus, Cleveland Clinic - Hillcrest Hospital, Cleveland Clinic - Euclid Hospital, Cleveland Clinic Fairview Hospital, University Hospital Main Campus, and many more.

How will I be billed for transportation services?

If you are private pay non-emergency medical transportation client, you will pay on the day of transport. If you have an established account or signed Beachwood Transportation Services Agreement, you will be invoiced as per the terms of the Agreement.

What forms of payment do you accept?

We currently accept cash, check, or credit card.

How much advance notice is required to schedule a transport?

To ensure proper accommodations, we request 24-48 hour advanced notice. However, we always do our best to accommodate short-notice requests. Please feel free to contact our office for availability.

Do you provide after-hour and weekend transportation?

Yes, with advanced notice we work to provide evening and weekend hours.

Will the driver stay with me during my appointment?

Because of our busy schedule, drivers will return once your appointment is complete. If you require non-emergency medical transportation outside of Riverside, CA, or require our drivers to wait, for whatever reason, a “Waiting Fee” will be incurred.

Can a family member or attendant go along to my appointment?

Absolutely! For your comfort and concern we welcome one family member or staff attendant to accompany you to appointments. Please inform our office of your companion when scheduling your appointment.

Can I bring personal items on my transport?

We will work to accommodate all reasonable requests. Please understand that our primary mission is to safely and securely transport you to your appointment. Our drivers cannot be delayed in moving or carrying extra items. Further, for your safety, we cannot have unsecure items in the vehicle.

Can I travel in my own wheelchair?

Yes, of course. Your comfort is our desire. We welcome you to remain in your manual or electric wheelchair during transport.

Will the driver take me inside?

Yes, absolutely. Unlike other curb-to-curb or door-to-door services, to ensure your safety, we are a door-through-door service. This means we will take you from inside your residence to inside your appointment.

Should I call for a return before my appointment is finished?

No! Please contact us ONLY when your appointment is complete and we will expeditiously dispatch a driver for your return. If we arrive and you are not ready, causing our driver to leave, it can possibly lead to a longer wait time.

Will I be charged if I have to cancel my scheduled transportation?

We understand that plans change, and we definitely appreciate you contacting us as far in advance as possible to cancel and/or reschedule your transportation.

Should a driver already be dispatched for your trip or has already arrived at your location, and you are, for whatever reason, not going to your appointment, you will be charged for a one-way transport that may or may not include mileage depending on your location.
