Transportation Services
What Kinds of Medical Transportation Services Programs are Offered?
There are many private- or government-funded organizations offering programs that help with costs
associated with specific diagnoses or conditions. Some programs are national in scope, while others
are limited to people in specific states. Most have some type of eligibility requirements, usually
financial ones. Some cover one specific diagnosis, while others cover whole categories (such as all
types of cancers) or even all chronic medical illnesses.
Additionally, some of these programs may offer other types of assistance, for example, access to lodging, medications and medical supplies, insurance co-payment and premiums assistance, child or respite care, etc.

Tips for Searching for Medical Transportation Services Programs
In most cases, it's best to search by the type of diagnosis. Because programs are listed in several
ways, it's important to know how to find all the programs that can help you:
- First, look for your specific diagnosis (e.g. "Breast Cancer"). If your specific diagnosis isn't listed then:
- Look under the general category for your diagnosis (e.g. Cancer All).
- Look also under the most general category (e.g. "Chronic, Serious or Life-Threatening Illness").
- When you click on a diagnosis, you may also notice other suggestions of categories to look under at the top of the program listings.
