Getting to Your Infusion Appointments: Transportation Assistance for Oregon Patients
At Vital Care of Portland, we understand that getting to your infusion appointments can sometimes be one of the hardest parts of treatment. Whether you’re managing a chronic condition, live in a rural area, or simply prefer not to drive after a long infusion, we’re here to help make transportation easier and stress-free.
From our infusion suite in Happy Valley to home visits across the state, our goal is to ensure every Oregon patient can access infusion therapy safely and reliably.
Transportation Shouldn’t Be a Barrier to Care
Infusion therapy can be life-changing, but it’s only effective if you’re able to get to your appointments consistently. Missing or delaying treatment can impact your health and slow recovery.
That’s why we partner with local and statewide medical transport providers to help you reach your appointments on time. Our care coordination team will work with you, your caregiver, and your insurance plan to identify transportation options that fit your schedule and coverage.
Transportation Options Available
1. Medical Transport Services
We can help arrange non-emergency medical transportation (NEMT) for patients covered under Medicaid and certain commercial plans. These rides are staffed by trained drivers familiar with healthcare appointments and can accommodate wheelchairs or mobility aids.
2. Rideshare Coordination
For patients who prefer a faster or more flexible option, we can coordinate rideshare transportation (such as Uber Health or Lyft Healthcare) to and from your infusion appointment. These services are available throughout much of Oregon, including rural and suburban areas.
3. Family and Caregiver Support
If you have a family member or friend assisting with your transportation, we’ll communicate your appointment details and provide any instructions they might need—so everyone feels confident about the plan.
