Medical Courier - Independent Contracting

Independent Contractor Courier for Accurate Courier Services

Who this is for

If you're reliable, take pride in your work, and want something more consistent than random gig deliveries, keep reading.

Accurate Courier Services contracts with independent couriers to support healthcare clients across the Kansas City metro. We work with hospitals, labs, and medical offices that depend on precise, on-time service every single day. Our contractors aren't picking up whatever comes in. They're running structured routes for clients that need reliability and professionalism built in.

About us

For 20+ years, ACS has built and maintained partnerships with healthcare clients across the Midwest, including hospitals, laboratories, pharmacies, and medical offices, to transport time-sensitive medical items safely and on time.

Independent contractor relationship

This is a contract opportunity, not employment. Independent contractors operate their own businesses and are responsible for their own taxes, expenses, and insurance. Compensation is per contracted services completed. No employment benefits are provided.

What the work involves

Contracted services include transporting pharmaceuticals, medical instruments, supplies, documents, and medical specimens, including temperature-sensitive materials requiring insulated transport. You'll log pickups and deliveries through a secure mobile app to support chain-of-custody requirements.

Routes run at various times, including nights, weekends, holidays, and in all weather. Expect driving, walking, standing, and occasional lifting up to 50 lbs.

What ACS provides

• Branded identification for access at client facilities
• Insulated coolers and specialty transport containers
• Delivery equipment required by healthcare clients
• Access to certifications required for contracted services
  
  

What you provide

• Reliable vehicle and a compatible smartphone
• Current driver's license, vehicle registration, and insurance
• Responsibility for fuel, vehicle maintenance, and business expenses
• Full HIPAA and confidentiality compliance
  
  

Performance expectations

Contractors complete services within agreed windows, communicate any delays or incidents through the designated channel, and maintain professionalism in healthcare settings. All services must be performed free from impairment and in compliance with applicable safety and regulatory requirements.

Qualifications

• Age 21 or older with at least 3 years of personal vehicle driving experience
• Familiarity with Kansas City roadways and traffic patterns
• Clean Motor Vehicle Record
• Ability to pass a background check and drug screening as required by healthcare clients
• Medical, lab, or courier experience is a plus, not a requirement
  
  

Engaging with Accurate Courier Services as an independent contractor does not create an employment relationship. Submitting an application or completing screening steps does not guarantee a contract or future work.
