Ameritrans© was created as a solution to
patients in need of long distance non-emergency medical transportation.
Before Ameritrans©, an ambulance was the only means of safely moving a person
by stretcher. The cost of that “mobile emergency room” was enormous and not very
comfortable either. We set out to find a more efficient, cost effective solution
without compromising care. We asked patients as well as medical personnel what they
would like to see in a long-distance transportation service. The result of that
survey is Ameritrans©, a company that elevated the standards in the non-emergency
transport industry. We went beyond what was required, above what you expect, and
“outside of the box”. Every patient in our care reaches their destination comfortably,
safely and with the least expense to them.

- We maintain a fleet of NEW Ford E250 vans as well as Dodge Sprinters and specially
modify them to safely hold full sized stretchers. All of our vehicles are specifically
designed for patient comfort and safety.
- We purchased the newest Stryker stretchers to safely lock in place, adjust to various
reclining levels while providing the patient with the most comfort available.
- We exceed state requirements for non-emergency staffing by using only EMT’s and
Paramedics on board all vans and during all transports. (virtually unheard of in
non-emergency transport services)
- We exceeded state requirements for insurance minimums by adding professional liability
coverage on our employees while in your home or health care facility.
- We obtained authorization by the Federal Department of Transportation to operate
and transport patients in all 50 states.
- We installed front and rear air conditioning and heating units for patient comfort.
- We provide for family members and caregivers to ride with the patient at no additional
charge.
- We installed DVD /TV screens that fold out of the ceiling for patients to view during
transport.
- We utilize the latest radio and mobile phone equipment so that drivers have continuous
communication with our dispatch center, family members, and medical staff when needed.
