Millcreek Paramedic Service Expands Transportation Service
Millcreek Paramedic Service is proud to announce that we have been issued our Pennsylvania Utility Commission (PUC) certification. Our license is A-00116034 and was issued in October, 2009. This license has allowed us to expand our transportation service. We are now able to serve the community in new ways.
Millcreek Paramedic Service continues to answer 911 emergencies in our township in addition to providing non-emergency ambulance transportation and wheelchair transports. The wheelchair service provides transportation for people who are mobility impaired. Our vans are equipped with automated ramps and specially trained staff.
Our expanded service allows us to include ambulatory (non-wheelchair bound) individuals in their special transportation needs as well. This Medical Taxi service provides transportation of individuals that are ambulatory but cannot or choose not to drive for any reason.
Obtaining service for wheelchair or medical taxi transportation is quite simple. Residents may call our main office at 814-836-8677 to schedule appointments. All efforts are made to accommodate the requested time for service. The flat rate for a one way passenger trip is $25.00. A round trip charge will be $45.00. After the first fifteen loaded miles, a $3.00 fee will be assessed whether it is a one-way trip or a round trip. No payments are due at the time of service with the exception of out of town travel. A bill will be sent following the transport and there is no billing fee. Some companies do charge a billing fee which increases the cost of a transport.
At this time MPS is equipped with three wheelchair vans and a medical taxi that are driven by trained EMT’s, capable of administering basic life support assistance.
MPS is a non-profit organization meaning that any money collected goes right back into the company. We pride ourselves in keeping our equipment up to date. Our staff undergoes continuing education to keep current in state-of-the-art medical practice.
Millcreek Paramedic Service will continue to set the standard of excellence in patient care. We believe that a caring, quality transportation service is a vital aspect of one’s healthcare. We ARE neighbors helping neighbors and will strive to give our customers nothing but the best.
Dedicated to the Health and Welfare of
Millcreek Township.
