    Medical Transportation in Decatur, Georgia

    DeKalb County · 30030, 30032, 30033, 30034, 30035 · about 5.1 miles and 15 minutes from our Decatur base in typical conditions

    Decatur is our home city — our office is at 2592 S Hairston Rd, 30035 — and it carries more registered dialysis capacity than anywhere else we serve: fourteen units across the 30030, 30032, 30033, 30034 and 30035 ZIP codes, roughly 290 stations. Those five ZIPs are five different places, from the walkable downtown square to the Snapfinger office parks, and the transportation problem is different in each.

    Insurance and private pay. Heart2Heart bills insurance for medically necessary transports such as dialysis, wound care and emergency-department related trips — coverage depends on the plan and is not guaranteed, and we can’t confirm accepted plans or authorization rules online. Rides booked and paid for directly on this website are paid by card at booking. We are not a Georgia Medicaid NEMT provider. If you have Medicaid transportation benefits, Georgia’s broker Verida arranges those rides at no cost to you — call 404-209-4000 (Fulton, DeKalb, Gwinnett) or 678-510-4555 (North Georgia), at least 3 business days ahead. Heart to Heart does not bill the VA or accept VA benefits as payment. Veterans may book and pay privately. For transportation arranged or paid for by the VA, contact your VA facility’s Beneficiary Travel office before booking.

    Five ZIP codes, three distinct dialysis clusters

    The Candler Road cluster in 30032 and 30034 is the densest: Emory Dialysis at Candler with 38 stations, DaVita Decatur and DaVita McAfee both at 1987 Candler Rd, DaVita Eastlake at 1757 Candler Road, and USRC DeKalb on Memorial Drive. The Snapfinger cluster in 30035 covers DaVita Snapfinger, Fresenius Kidney Care Snapfinger, DaVita Panola, DaVita Chapel Woods, CC&D Services and the confusingly named DaVita Dialysis Of Lithonia on Park Central Boulevard.

    The third cluster is north and west in 30030 and 30033 — Fresenius Kidney Care Decatur on Irvin Way, Fresenius Kidney Care DeKalb-Gwinnett on Winn Way, and Emory Dialysis at North Decatur. Which cluster your chair is in determines whether your ride is five minutes or fifteen.

    Two units on this list have addresses that mislead people

    DaVita Dialysis Of Lithonia is at 2485 Park Central Blvd in Decatur 30035, not in Lithonia. Fresenius Kidney Care Candler Road is at 2886 Memorial Dr SE in the 30317 ZIP, not on Candler Road. Both trip up families booking on a relative’s behalf, and a wrong address on a dialysis morning is a lost session.

    Every one of the fourteen units has its own page here with the verified street address, suite number and station count from the federal register, plus the clinic’s own phone number. Check the address, not the name.

    Being based on Candler Road changes what we can commit to

    Our vehicles start their day on Candler Road, which means the Candler and Memorial Drive units are minutes from a cold start. That is why first-shift pickups in 30032 and 30034 are the easiest thing we do, and why short-notice requests in those ZIPs are more often possible than elsewhere.

    It does not mean free. A short trip still carries the vehicle base rate and our trip minimum, because a stretcher crew’s morning is consumed the same way whether the drive is two miles or ten.

    Emory Decatur, the North Decatur corridor, and everything else

    Emory Decatur Hospital and the North Decatur Road clinic corridor generate steady discharge and outpatient volume, and the Clifton Road Emory campus is a short run from most Decatur addresses. Beyond dialysis and hospitals, our regular Decatur work includes skilled nursing and memory care facility transfers, infusion appointments, and wound-care visits.

    We are an independent transportation company, not affiliated with, endorsed by, or contracted to Emory Healthcare or any other system. All service is private pay: no insurance billing except ambulance dialysis (BCBS, UHC, Medicare, Aetna), no Medicaid brokerage, price shown before you book.

We also drive Decatur residents to units outside the city when that is where their chair is.

    Candler Road, Memorial Drive, Ponce de Leon Avenue, Scott Boulevard, Snapfinger Woods Drive, I-20, I-285 carry almost all of our Decatur work. That matters for one practical reason: it tells you which pickups are affected when one of them backs up, and it is why we quote a pickup window instead of a single minute.

    30030, 30032, 30033, 30034, 30035 — Decatur sits in DeKalb County, about 5.1 miles from our Candler Road base in Decatur. Every one of those ZIPs is inside our normal service area, with no zone surcharge for being on one side of the city rather than the other.

    Most often Emory Decatur Hospital in Decatur, Emory University Hospital in Atlanta, Grady Memorial Hospital in Atlanta. We are an independent transportation company and not affiliated with, endorsed by, or contracted to any of them; they are simply the destinations Decatur patients ask for most.

    Yes. Crews sign in at the desk, collect the patient from the room or unit rather than the lobby, and hand off to staff at the other end. Facility trips work best when we know the unit name and any escort policy before the day of the ride.

    No, but tell us the number of steps when you book. Step count decides how many crew members are assigned and, above a certain point, which vehicle and equipment we bring. It is the single most common reason a crew arrives under-equipped, and it is entirely avoidable with one sentence at booking.

    Yes. Extra stops are a booking option and each one is priced, so the total on your quote already includes them. Add them when you book rather than asking the driver in the moment; that way the schedule and the price both reflect reality.

    Yes, and most dialysis riders do. You give us the treatment days, the chair time and the pickup address once, and we set up the recurring booking with dispatch; each pickup time is confirmed for the day it runs. Tuesday-Thursday-Saturday works the same way. Three visits a week averages 13 visits — 26 one-way rides — a month, and some months have 14 visits (28 rides); no membership sold online includes that many rides, so a thrice-weekly schedule is quoted in writing.

    A wheelchair-accessible van is $180 base plus $9.60 per mile, with a $100 minimum on any trip. Because Decatur sits about 5.1 miles from our Candler Road base, most local Decatur trips price out toward the lower end of our range. Put your actual addresses into the quote tool and you get the real number rather than a starting-from figure.

    A trained crew, plus one family member or escort at no extra charge on wheelchair and stretcher trips. Tell us at booking if a companion is riding so the seat is reserved. If more than one person needs to come, say so and we will tell you honestly whether the assigned vehicle has room.
