Hospital discharge planning
Contact us about the tentative discharge date, departure time, and destination. If the plan changes, speak with our team to review the transportation arrangements.
For facilities & care teams
Helping someone leave the hospital, attend an appointment, or travel from assisted living? Discharge planners, assisted living teams, and care coordinators can contact ABW to discuss non-emergency transportation.
Start with the trip
Share a general transportation plan so our team can review the request with you. Each trip’s destination, timing, availability, and assistance needs must be discussed before transportation is confirmed.
Contact us about the tentative discharge date, departure time, and destination. If the plan changes, speak with our team to review the transportation arrangements.
Ask about transportation for a resident’s medical visit or personal appointment. Discuss pickup, destination, and return travel with our team and the people involved in planning the trip.
For outpatient visits, physical therapy, or dialysis, share the proposed schedule. If more than one trip is needed, ask about availability for the individual dates.
Before you contact us
You do not need to send a patient chart to ask about transportation. For the initial inquiry, prepare general planning information and a contact person who can discuss the request.
Keep the initial inquiry general. Do not include diagnoses, medical records, insurance identification numbers, or sensitive medical details. Call our team to discuss transportation questions that need more explanation.
Use the shared transportation request form, call, or email with a general inquiry. There is no separate facility form to complete.
Submitting a request does not book transportation. Our team must contact you and verify availability and details before the trip is confirmed.
Plan together
Tell us about the proposed destination and any general assistance questions. Travel in Georgia and beyond is subject to confirmed destinations and availability. Coordinate any facility discharge or accompanying-person requirements with your care team, and discuss how they affect the trip with ABW.
For a medical emergency, call 911. ABW’s website and inquiry channels are for non-emergency transportation, not emergency response.
