Transfer Centers

Transfer Centers

ACCURATE. EFFICIENT. FOCUSED ON THE PATIENT.

When rapid patient placement is vital, we manage the entire patient transfer process — whether emergent or non-emergent. Our Transfer Center Program is a hospital throughput solution to streamline the medical transportation ordering process and ensure appropriate documentation to determine levels of service and appropriate billing procedures. Transport coordinators will work in collaboration with your discharge planners and nursing staff to coordinate, manage and schedule all calls for medical transport services that you request.

Our services adhere to the physician’s declaration of medical necessity to ensure proper levels of care and patient placement are met, whether inbound to your facility or outbound to an appropriate receiving facility. Once call is initiated from hospital staff or the patient’s physician, the All-Access Transfer Center (AATC) will locate the most appropriate hospital, verify bed availability, determine admitting and consulting physicians, and arrange medical transport based on patient need.
