Wheelchair Van, Ambulance and Uber Rides for Veterans From Lebanon VA
Lebanon VA Medical Center arranges two extra ride options for Veterans getting to care: Special Mode Transportation, which is wheelchair van or ambulance level transport, and Uber Health Connect, a door to door ride service. Both are part of the Veterans Transportation Program, which provides coordinated transportation options for eligible Veterans. The program serves ambulatory and non ambulatory Veterans, and rides are arranged based on medical need, mobility limitations, and beneficiary travel eligibility.
Special Mode Transportation is available when clinically justified by a VA provider. It is meant for Veterans who cannot safely use standard transportation because of their medical needs, so the decision starts with your VA provider rather than with a form you fill out. The contact number listed for Special Mode Transportation is 717-272-6621, ext.5767.
Uber Health Connect is the door to door service the medical center added more recently. Its eligibility rule is different from the wheelchair van and ambulance option: to be eligible for Uber Health Connect you must meet BT eligibility criteria, meaning beneficiary travel eligibility, and be able to safely ambulate in and out of a vehicle. The contact number listed for Uber Health Connect is 717-272-6621, ext.6022.
Beneficiary travel benefits include round-trip transportation from your home to the medical center, mileage reimbursement, or special mode transport. You can check whether you qualify for beneficiary travel at va.gov/health-care/file-travel-pay-reimbursement. The medical center's travel office is in Building 17, first floor, room 103, open Monday through Friday from 7:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., and its number is 717-272-6621, ext.6032.
The medical center is at 1700 South Lincoln Avenue, Lebanon, PA 17042-7529. Its main number is 717-272-6621 for general questions.
The page does not say what these two ride services cost, what hours the transportation staff can be reached, or how far in advance a ride must be arranged, so ask when you reach the extension for the service you need.
