Below are answers to some of the most frequently asked questions about our services, scheduling process, and insurance.

Do you accept insurance for non-emergency transport?

Yes. In many cases, non-emergency medical transportation can be covered by insurance depending on the patient’s medical necessity and specific policy. Our team can help verify coverage and explain your options. We recommend having your insurance card available when you call so we can assist you as quickly and accurately as possible.

What areas do you serve?

Elite Ambulance proudly serves the Chicagoland area and surrounding suburbs, as well as many communities throughout the Midwest. If you’re unsure whether we can accommodate your location, give us a call and our dispatchers will confirm service options for your specific address.

Can you help take my mom or dad to the hospital or doctor’s appointment?

Yes. Elite Ambulance frequently provides safe, compassionate transportation for parents and older adults who need to go to the hospital, clinic, or specialist. Our EMTs assist with mobility, offer gentle support, and ensure your loved one arrives safely and on time, giving families peace of mind.

What kind of medical staff will be with the patient?

Our vehicles are staffed with trained EMTs and other qualified medical professionals depending on the level of service required. They are experienced in patient handling, monitoring, and safe transport, and are committed to treating every patient with respect, dignity, and compassion.

How far in advance should I schedule transportation?

We recommend scheduling as early as possible, especially for recurring treatments like dialysis, chemotherapy, radiation, or physical therapy. However, we understand that needs can arise quickly. Call our dispatch line at (773) 774-8999 and we will do our best to accommodate same-day or short-notice requests whenever possible.

How do I schedule a ride with Elite Ambulance?

Scheduling is simple. Call our dispatch team at (773) 774-8999 and let us know the patient’s name, pickup location, destination facility, appointment time, and any medical needs or mobility requirements. We’ll confirm availability, gather any additional information, and provide next steps right over the phone.

What types of transport do you provide?

We offer a wide range of non-emergency medical transportation services, including wheelchair transport, stretcher transport, bariatric transport, dialysis transport, cancer treatment transport, rehab and physical therapy transport, hospital discharges, senior and assisted living transport, pediatric transport, cardiac transport, ventilator transport, and more. Our goal is to match the right level of care and vehicle to each patient’s needs.

What is the difference between emergency and non-emergency transport?

Emergency transport is for life-threatening situations and should always be requested by calling 911. Non-emergency medical transport is for patients who still require medical support, monitoring, or specialized vehicles, but are not in immediate danger. Elite Ambulance specializes in this non-emergency, scheduled transportation while maintaining a high standard of clinical care and safety.

Do you offer wheelchair and stretcher accommodations?

Absolutely. We operate lift-equipped vehicles with secure wheelchair tie-downs, as well as stretcher units for patients who need to remain lying down. We’ll determine the appropriate vehicle type during scheduling based on the patient’s mobility and medical condition.

Why should I choose Elite Ambulance over a rideshare or taxi?

Unlike rideshares or taxis, Elite Ambulance provides professional medical transportation with trained EMTs, specialized equipment, and vehicles designed for patients with mobility or medical needs. We’ve served the Chicagoland area and Midwest communities for over 25 years and are a company that truly cares about safety, comfort, and clinical quality.
