Radiation therapy requires daily Monday–Friday appointments for weeks at a time — 20 to 40 sessions depending on the treatment protocol. Each visit is relatively short (15–30 minutes), but the cumulative fatigue builds over the course of treatment. Missing sessions disrupts the treatment plan and can reduce effectiveness. DachiPlus provides standing-order daily transportation to all major radiation oncology centers on Long Island, with awareness of cumulative fatigue, punctuality requirements, and the emotional weight of a daily cancer treatment routine. Medicaid covers radiation transportation; Medicare Advantage typically includes it as well.

DachiPlus coordinates radiation transport for East Rockaway, NY residents. From East Rockaway, that usually means trips to NY Cancer & Blood Specialists (Rockville Centre), Mount Sinai South Nassau Cancer Center and NY Cancer & Blood Specialists (Valley Stream), roughly 5 minutes away. We accept Medicaid (via MAS), Medicare Advantage, and private pay — call (516) 754-7777.

In East Rockaway, radiation transport most often serves patients receiving stereotactic body radiation (SBRT) or IMRT and patients requiring both radiation and chemotherapy on alternating schedules. Every trip includes daily standing-order scheduling for the full treatment course.
