Sometimes there is no pressing emergency, which means it is a non medical transportation you need. You simply require a patient transporter that gets you from one place to another. This is quite often the case with an elderly transport. It could mean a number of things though, like providing a way to nursing homes, assisted living units, specialty care facilities, diagnostic facilities or doctor’s offices. One of the helpful things you’ll find about MCRS is we handle all billing in-house. That means we can help you sort out the requirements and rules of Medicare transportation for you or your loved ones if it pertains to you.
While MCRS does reply to your 911 calls, there’s also non medical transportation when you need it. While each person in our care receives a safe, comfortable ride, they get something else too – dignity. Everyone deserves respect and that’s what makes us one of the primary patient transporter services in the Fairmont, Worthington and Mannington areas. We ensure our patients are comfortable, warm, clean and safe. By communicating with everyone – from patients, to family members, to health care providers – you’ll have a great experience with us every time.

Whether it’s the result of illness or a serious injury, sometimes having advanced cardiac life support is critical to the survival of you or a loved one. It usually begins by analyzing a patient’s heart rhythms with a manual defibrillator. From there, techs may place intravenous (IV) lines and various airway devices. The goal for using these methods is to ensure you arrive at a nearby care facility where doctors can take the necessary steps for saving your life. So if you or someone you love has experienced a heart health event or have been seriously injured make sure you call 911 for emergency transportation to the nearest hospital.
