Transportation

At Independence At Home Services, LLC, our goal is to help people remain in their New Jersey homes whenever possible with our transportation services. Time and again we have seen this option boost people’s self-confidence by allowing them to remain active with their family, friends and hobbies. We offer our assisted living services to the NJ counties of Sussex, Morris, Bergen, Passaic, Warren, Essex and Union.

Independence At Home Services understands that one of the challenges for the elderly or housebound patients is transportation. Perhaps you live at a distance from your family or it is difficult to work around the schedules of your family. If you also have the added complication of needing transportation that can accommodate a wheel chair or other assistance device, you know the frustration of trying to find someone who can meet all those criteria.

Medicare and Medicaid Dilemma Learn More

Many people don’t realize that Medicare doesn’t cover transportation to doctors appointments, and Medicare doesn’t pay for wheelchair transport of any kind under any condition. It takes stretcher transport to meet the Medicare guidelines. Non-emergency transportation is not covered either, unless your condition severely limits your ability to move on a temporary or a permanent basis. Medicaid will cover wheelchair transportation only if you cannot ambulate at all. Non-emergency ambulance transport is most often not covered by private insurances either.

Confusing? Yes. Hopeless? No. Independence At Home Services fills the void in this industry by offering transportation services as part of our home care services. Call on us for your doctor appointments, dialysis and hospital stays, just to name a few things. You can also rely on us to get you to the fun and exciting activities in your life (using your personal car), such as weddings, holiday events and the everyday errands and appointments that we all have scheduled. If you’ve been putting life on hold because of transportation issues, let Independence At Home Services give you a new lease on life. Here are the details.

  • Legwork. We will do all the legwork for you by getting the medical necessity documents from your doctor should you qualify for coverage under your private insurance, Medicare or Medicaid.
  • Discounts. We have contracted with an ambulance company and can arrange for discounted rates to our clients for these transportation services.
  • Payment options. If you’ve ever scheduled these transportation services by yourself, you know that most places expect upfront payment. We don’t. We will bill you for the service ourselves, giving you the necessary time to arrange your finances.
  • Your Vehicle. Should you not require assisted device transportation, we also have companions who drive and can transport you in your own vehicle to appointments.
