East Coast Ambulance

What East Coast Ambulance does

East Coast Ambulance & Wheelchair Service is a private medical transportation company that has operated since 1998 from its headquarters in Parkville, Maryland, with additional locations in Baltimore, College Park, Elkton, Salisbury, and Dover, Delaware. The company provides fee-for-service non-emergency medical transportation to approximately 50,000 seniors annually, using a fleet of 60+ ambulances and wheelchair vans operated by 200+ employees. Its service portfolio spans Basic Life Support (BLS), Advanced Life Support (ALS), Specialty Care Transport (SCT), and Bariatric ambulances, plus a separately branded wheelchair van service (East Coast Wheelchair) offering door-to-door transport at $60 base plus $2 per mile.

The company's underlying technology is standard for the EMS industry: Mobile Data Terminals (MDTs) enable bi-directional dispatch-to-vehicle communication with real-time GPS tracking, Electronic Patient Care Reports (ePCR) digitize patient documentation, and clinical equipment includes Zoll X-series cardiac monitors and LTV-1200 portable ventilators. Its Bariatric service, the first in Maryland, uses customized ambulances with Stryker MX-PRO cots accommodating patients up to 850 pounds. Go-to-market is sales-led and direct: phone-based customer care coordinators field calls from individuals, hospitals, nursing homes, and assisted living facilities, supplemented by an EZ Trip Scheduler online booking system.

Revenue is generated on a transaction-fee basis: wheelchair services are private-pay only (not Medicare-covered), while ambulance services are quote-based with Medicare eligibility for qualifying bed-confined patients. Customer segments include individual seniors and mobility-impaired patients (primary), contracted healthcare facilities (hospitals, rehabs, nursing homes, hospices such as Gilchrist Hospice, Bel Air Rehab Center, Multi Care Center, and Genesis in Salisbury), and dialysis/chemotherapy/radiation patients requiring recurring transport. The company does not disclose revenue, has no institutional funding, and has remained founder-owned under CEO Michael Rosellini since inception.
