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 Stony Brook, NY residents. From Stony Brook, that usually means trips to Stony Brook Cancer Center, NY Cancer & Blood Specialists (East Setauket) and NY Cancer & Blood Specialists (Smithtown), roughly 5 minutes away. We accept Medicaid (via MAS), Medicare Advantage, and private pay — call (516) 754-7777.
In Stony Brook, radiation transport most often serves patients requiring both radiation and chemotherapy on alternating schedules and patients in daily external beam radiation therapy (EBRT) courses. Every trip includes daily standing-order scheduling for the full treatment course.
