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.

For patients in Farmingdale, DachiPlus provides dependable radiation transport. From Farmingdale, that usually means trips to NY Cancer & Blood Specialists (Bethpage), NY Cancer & Blood Specialists (Babylon) and Memorial Sloan Kettering Nassau, roughly 8 minutes away. Covered by Medicaid through MAS, or pay privately at (516) 754-7777.

In Farmingdale, radiation transport most often serves patients in daily external beam radiation therapy (EBRT) courses and prostate, breast, and gynecologic cancer patients in radiation treatment for a community of about 8,189 residents. Every trip includes companion seating for caregiver or family member.

Before your ride from Farmingdale

A checklist for patients & caregivers

A little preparation makes every trip smoother.

  • For Medicaid: contact MAS at 1-844-666-6270 at least 72 hours before your first appointment and request a standing order
  • Share your radiation department's phone number so we can coordinate on rare schedule changes
  • As fatigue builds over the course, let us know if you need more boarding time or a different pickup window

  • If treatment is temporarily paused (common for skin reactions), notify us so we can pause your standing order
