An ambulette is a wheelchair-accessible van where the passenger stays seated in their wheelchair throughout the trip, secured by a four-point tie-down system. This is the required vehicle type when a patient cannot safely transfer out of their wheelchair. DachiPlus operates sedans and SUVs for wheelchair users who can transfer to a seat. For patients who need to remain in their wheelchair during transport, we coordinate through licensed ambulette providers and through Medicaid's MAS ambulette authorization process. Call DachiPlus at (516) 754-7777 and we will confirm the right vehicle type and coordinate the booking.
