What types of patients commonly use BLS transportation? BLS transportation is frequently used for patients who are being discharged from a hospital, transferring between healthcare facilities, have recurring medical appointments, require medical supervision during transport, need administered oxygen or other basic medical support, or have medical conditions that require trained EMTs during transit. Our dispatch team works closely with healthcare providers to ensure every patient receives the appropriate level of service throughout their care journey.
Can BLS transportation be scheduled for recurring appointments or facility transfers? Yes.
