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.
For patients in Wantagh, DachiPlus provides dependable radiation transport. From Wantagh, that usually means trips to Memorial Sloan Kettering Nassau, NY Cancer & Blood Specialists (Bethpage) and Mount Sinai South Nassau Cancer Center, roughly 14 minutes away. Covered by Medicaid through MAS, or pay privately at (516) 754-7777.
In Wantagh, radiation transport most often serves patients in daily external beam radiation therapy (EBRT) courses and prostate, breast, and gynecologic cancer patients in radiation treatment for a community of about 19,156 residents.
