Beyond the Listed Cities

Can a Trip Go to a Facility Outside the Primary Service Area?

Potentially, yes. A trip may begin within one of the primary service-area cities and travel to a medical facility, residence, or other destination outside those city boundaries.

Because longer-distance or outside-area trips require additional scheduling and trip planning, availability should be confirmed directly with The Medical Ride.
