Non-emergency transport, family-handled.
Stretcher, wheelchair, BLS and facility transfers across the Greater Houston metro. Medicare, Medicaid and private insurance. Same crew. Same care. Two decades of it.
Stretcher Transport
For patients who cannot safely sit upright or transfer to a wheelchair, A Believers EMS provides BLS-level stretcher transport across the Greater Houston metro. Whether it is a recurring trip to dialysis or a one-time discharge home, the same care applies.
- BLS-certified EMT crew on every stretcher transport
- Lift-equipped vehicles, stretcher-secured per Texas DSHS standards
- Vitals monitoring during transport for medically stable patients
- Family member welcome in front passenger seat at no extra charge
- Direct billing to Medicare, Texas Medicaid (#184618001) and private insurance
- Standing schedules available for dialysis, oncology and recurring appointments
Not a 911 service. If your situation is a life-threatening emergency, call 911. A Believers EMS is a non-emergency medical transport company — we move stable patients with dignity.
Non-Emergency BLS Transport
The core of what we do. BLS-level transport for medically stable patients heading to dialysis, oncology, lab visits, post-acute discharge or scheduled outpatient appointments — the trips Houston families have trusted us with since 2006.
- BLS-certified EMT crew on every transport
- Stretcher-equipped vehicle with basic vitals monitoring
- Round-trip and wait-and-return service available
- Direct billing to Medicare, Texas Medicaid (#184618001) and private insurance
- Standing-schedule pricing for dialysis 3x/week and other recurring trips
- One family member rides in the front seat at no charge
Facility Transfers
Hospital-to-hospital, hospital-to-rehab, and facility-to-home transfers for medically stable patients. We coordinate directly with discharge planners and case managers to make handoffs clean, on time and dignified.
- BLS-level transfer for medically stable patients
- Bed-to-bed pickup and delivery
- Direct coordination with discharge planners and case managers
- Documentation handed off in person at receiving facility
- Standing relationships with Houston-area SNFs, rehabs and hospitals
- Medicare, Medicaid and private insurance — we do the billing
Wheelchair & Special Needs Transport
Wheelchair-accessible transport for elderly patients, dialysis routines, oncology visits and patients with cognitive or mobility special needs. The patience and kindness Houston reviewers keep calling out is what we are known for — and how Rodney has trained the crew from day one.
- Wheelchair-accessible vehicles with secure tie-down
- Gentle handling and unhurried boarding — the trip moves at the patient's pace
- Recurring schedules for dialysis (typically 3x/week) and weekly oncology
- Hospice and end-of-life rides handled with quiet dignity
- Bilingual coordination available when family language is Spanish
- Family member welcome in front passenger seat at no charge
Appointment & Wait-Return Service
The hardest part of an outpatient appointment is the second trip — finding transport home when the patient is tired, medicated or recovering. We solve it by staying. One crew, one vehicle, the entire round-trip.
- Stretcher or wheelchair transport to the appointment
- Crew waits on-site during the visit (dialysis, oncology, labs, infusions, imaging)
- Same crew brings the patient home afterward — no second scheduling, no second wait
- Standing schedules for dialysis 3x/week or weekly oncology
- Covered by Medicaid and Medicare when medically necessary; private-pay rates available
- Family member ride-along included at no extra cost

The questions our dispatch team hears most.
What kind of transport does A Believers EMS provide?
We provide non-emergency medical transport — stretcher, wheelchair, BLS-level ambulance rides for dialysis, lab visits, outpatient appointments, hospital discharge and facility-to-facility transfers. For 911-level emergencies please call 911 directly; we are happy to be your follow-up transport once the patient is stable.
Do you accept Medicare, Medicaid and private insurance?
Yes. A Believers EMS LLC is enrolled with Medicare and Texas Medicaid (Medicaid ID #184618001) and works with most major private insurance plans. We handle the paperwork — families and facilities just call to schedule.
What areas of Houston do you serve?
Our base is at 13940 Bammel North Houston Rd in northwest Houston. We routinely serve the Greater Houston metro — including Spring, Cypress, The Woodlands, Tomball, Acres Homes, Memorial, the Medical Center, Sugar Land and Pasadena. Call us with your pickup and drop-off; if we can do it well, we will.
Are you really family-run and Black-owned?
Yes — A Believers EMS LLC was founded in 2006 by Rodney Baker and is still run by Rodney and his son Rod from the same Houston office. Our crew is small, our service is personal, and the name on the door is the family on the phone.
How far in advance should I schedule a transport?
Recurring transports (dialysis, weekly oncology, etc.) we book on a standing schedule that fits your appointment calendar. One-time transports we generally ask for 24-48 hours notice when possible, but we accommodate same-day requests as the fleet allows.
Can a family member ride along with the patient?
Yes — one family member is welcome to ride in the front passenger seat at no additional cost. Just let dispatch know when you book the trip.
How is A Believers EMS licensed?
We are licensed by the Texas Department of State Health Services (License #800182), enrolled in the National Provider Identifier registry (NPI #1235213786), permitted by the Houston Health Department, and HIPAA compliant on every transport.
One call. The Baker family on the other end.
Call Rodney or Rod directly to book a transport, ask about Medicaid coverage, or coordinate a discharge. We answer the phone ourselves — the way it should be.
