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 Shirley, DachiPlus provides dependable radiation transport. From Shirley, that usually means trips to NY Cancer & Blood Specialists (Ridge), NY Cancer & Blood Specialists (Patchogue) and NY Cancer & Blood Specialists (Westhampton Beach), roughly 15 minutes away. Covered by Medicaid through MAS, or pay privately at (516) 754-7777.
In Shirley, radiation transport most often serves patients receiving stereotactic body radiation (SBRT) or IMRT and patients requiring both radiation and chemotherapy on alternating schedules. Every trip includes companion seating for caregiver or family member.
