Patient Transportation Services

This contract awards COMCARE of Sedgwick County the provision of patient and inmate transportation services across Kansas, linking Wichita to three state hospitals and other locations on an as‑needed basis. Ride Care is the sole awardee, receiving per‑trip rates for transport with and without restraints, plus mileage‑and‑time rates for other trips.
