Medical transportation in Orange County, built around your schedule

Orange County has 34 cities and some of the busiest freeways in the state.

A morning appointment in Irvine, a dialysis session in Santa Ana and an afternoon discharge in Mission Viejo all depend on the same thing: a driver who plans for traffic on the 5, the 405, the 55 and the 91 so the patient is never late and never rushed.

MedBridge provides medical transportation Orange County residents can book directly, without waiting on a health plan to approve a ride. Our vehicles are ADA-compliant, and our drivers are background-checked, CPR and First Aid certified, and trained to help people in and out of wheelchairs, vans and buildings with dignity.

NEMT Orange County families use most

NEMT, or non-emergency medical transportation, is a scheduled ride for patients who are stable but cannot safely drive or use public transit. In Orange County we see a steady mix of requests:

Rides to specialist visits, imaging and lab appointments

Standing dialysis transportation three times a week

Discharges from hospitals to home, assisted living or a skilled nursing facility

Trips for seniors who need a steady arm and extra time

Long drives to specialty centers in Los Angeles, San Diego or beyond

If you are comparing options, remember that non-emergency medical transportation Orange County wide is a different service from an ambulance. It is a calm, scheduled ride, and it costs far less.

Wheelchair, gurney and ambulatory rides

Choosing the right vehicle is the first step. Patients who stay in a chair can use wheelchair transportation Orange County drivers provide with lift-equipped vans and secure tie-downs. Patients who must lie flat need gurney transportation with a two-person team.

Patients who walk but want help from the front door to the exam room can choose ambulatory transportation. Not sure which one fits? Call (818) 788-0322 and describe the situation. We would rather ask a few questions than send the wrong vehicle.

A medical transport service Orange County care teams can lean on

Hospitals, assisted living communities, dialysis centers and rehab programs across the county work with MedBridge for recurring and same-day transfers.

We offer a direct dispatch contact, priority scheduling for contracted partners and documentation support. See the facility partner program page for details.

Booking and pricing

No referral is needed. Pricing depends on the vehicle, distance, round trip and waiting time, so ask for a quote when you call.

We suggest booking 24 to 48 hours ahead for wheelchair and gurney rides, and we do our best to fit same-day requests when capacity allows.

Yes. Most dialysis patients set up a weekly schedule once and the rides are dispatched automatically. We time pickups to your chair time and include the return trip. Learn more on our dialysis transportation page.
Yes. Longer trips to specialty centers are part of our long-distance transport service. Tell dispatch the destination and appointment time and we will plan the route and the return.

Call (818) 788-0322 or send the request through the contact page. Give us the pickup address, destination, mobility needs and whether you need a return trip, and we will quote before you commit.
