Schedule Medical Transportation in Los Angeles and Southern California

Booking takes about three minutes. Whether you call or use the form, we ask for the same few details so dispatch can match the ride to the patient.

There is no referral to collect and no account to open first.

The quickest way to reach us is to call (818) 788-0322. That MedBridge phone number goes to our dispatch team, who answer day and night. It is the best choice for same-day rides, hospital discharges and changes to a standing schedule.

If you are not sure which vehicle the patient needs, describe the situation and we will help you decide. You can read more about each option on our services page, including wheelchair, gurney and ambulatory transportation.

Medical transportation dispatch is the part you never see, and it is the part that makes rides reliable. Once you book, dispatch assigns the right vehicle and driver, confirms the pickup window and sends the driver's details ahead of time.

If traffic, a delayed appointment or a late discharge changes the plan, dispatch adjusts the trip and tells the people involved. For recurring rides, dispatch also keeps the schedule so you do not have to rebook.

Ask for a medical transportation quote when you call or mention it in the form. Pricing depends on the type of vehicle, the distance, whether the trip is a round trip and any waiting time.

We confirm the price before the ride is booked, so there are no surprises at the end. Facilities that move patients regularly can ask about our facility partner program for consolidated billing support.

MedBridge serves Los Angeles County, Orange County, San Bernardino County and Riverside County. If your address is not on the lists for those pages, call anyway.

We often serve areas that are not named, and our long-distance transport team can plan trips beyond Southern California.

If this is your first time arranging a ride for someone else, a few small steps make the day smoother. Ask the patient or their nurse whether they can sit upright for the whole trip. Check whether the building has stairs, a ramp or an elevator.

Write down the name of the person who will meet the patient at the destination. If the appointment might run long, tell us, and we can plan a wait-and-return trip instead of a separate pickup. And if you are booking from out of town, give us your number as well as the patient's, so dispatch can keep you in the loop.

Case managers and discharge planners can use the same phone number and form, or ask about a direct line through our facility partner program.

Tell us the patient's mobility level, the sending and receiving contacts and the arrival window you need. Contracted partners receive priority dispatch, and every facility gets a confirmed vehicle type before the driver leaves.

We recommend 24 to 48 hours of notice for wheelchair and gurney rides, and as much notice as you can give for recurring schedules like dialysis.

Same-day requests are accommodated when capacity allows, so it is always worth calling.
