Uber brings non-emergency patient transport to its US app
Uber is expanding its services in the United States to help people access health care. Under the company’s new model, users will be able to arrange private transportation through the app for patients who do not require emergency medical care.
Transportation technology company Uber is expanding its services for the health care sector in the United States with a new step into non-emergency patient transport. The system is intended to transport people who do not require an ambulance but need assistance reaching a health care facility.
The model is designed to organize non-emergency trips to hospitals, clinics, rehabilitation centers and other health care facilities. This would allow conventional ambulance services to focus on emergencies while providing alternative transportation options for patient transfers that do not require immediate medical intervention.

The service is not expected to replace the 911 emergency medical system or ambulances. In cases requiring emergency medical intervention, such as heart attacks, serious injuries or breathing difficulties, people must use conventional emergency medical services.
Uber already offers patient transportation solutions linked to health care providers and insurance systems. The company’s new initiatives in health transportation are seen as an effort to expand its presence in the US market for non-emergency medical transportation, known as NEMT.
