The Benefits Of Using Workers Comp Transport Company Services

If you have been injured on the job and are now out of work and collecting workers compensation, you may be eligible to start using a workers compensation transport company to get to all of your non-emergency medical appointments. Whether it's for lab work, physical therapy, or a consultation with a surgeon, you may get help getting there. Here are some of the benefits that can come from using a workers comp transport company:

Your Trip History Is Fully Documented

Every ride that you take with a workers comp transport company is completely documented, which can come in handy if you ever need additional evidence regarding your visits to medical appointments. The date, time of pick up and drop off, as well as the address of the medical facility or office you went to will be documented. You can ask for those records later in the future if they are ever needed.

Handicap Accessibility Isn't A Concern

Even if you have someone in your house that can drive you to your medical appointments, it might be difficult if you are confined to a wheelchair or you need extra leg space because of a cast. The transport companies usually send handicap-accessible vans for all pickups. However, in the rare instance when a company has several types of vehicles in their fleet, you will want to make sure that they are aware of any accessibility requirements that you have. This way, they don't send out someone in a standard car and instead send a fully equipped handicap-accessible van.

As you can see, there are plenty of good reasons for you to make use of a local workers comp transport company — like Safe Ride Transportation. All you need to do now is to find one that is near you and that has room to add another client to their list of riders. Talk to your workers comp caseworker for assistance in finding the ideal transport company if you are having some trouble finding some on your own. They may already have the contact information on hand for you. All you have to do is call to see what is needed to be set up as a rider and how you need to schedule your rides to and from your appointments. Each company is different in terms of how much advance notice they need before they can put someone on the route schedule for a pick-up and drop-off.
