Transportation

Can anyone use your transportation services?

No, our transportation services are specialized to meet the needs of individuals undergoing behavioral health treatment. Our clients typically need transportation from an acute care setting to another acute care setting or a lower level of care. Therefore, staff at an acute care hospital will request transportation from Transicare using established protocols.

Hospital staff can contact dispatch 214-342-5800.

What requirements do you have to transport someone?

When a staff member from a local hospital requests transport, they will need to have the patient’s name, social security number, and form of payment for the transport. For patient’s transferring under an OPC, form of payment is confirmed the destination facility has confirmed transfer and the OPC has been received by the destination facility.

What forms of payment do you accept?

Because transport is specialized to behavioral health clients, Transicare operates its transportation services under contract with the North Texas Behavioral Health Authority. Other area hospitals are also contracted with Transicare to meet the needs of their behavioral health clients.

Are your vehicles wheelchair accessible?

At this time, there are no vehicles that are wheelchair accessible. However, if a client is able to transfer from their wheelchair to the vehicle without assistance, Transicare can make transport arrangements. Please notify the dispatcher or Transport Director of a wheelchair assist as this information will be confirmed with the Charge RN of the originating facility.
