NEMT – The Best Transport Option for Non-Emergency Fragile Patients

Non-Emergency Medical Transportation (NEMT) is special service offering convenient medical transportation to individuals who’re unable to use conventional public transport to reach their doctor for appointment because of physical medical condition. 

NEMT is used for medical appointments that may include physical therapy, dialysis appointment, post hospital discharge, chemo therapy; follow non-urgent healthcare instructions, & other prescriptions. NEMT helps patients to maintain their independence and make life easier as they don’t have to rely on anyone for keeping up with their medical appointments.

Assures to Improve Quality of Life

NEMT arranges reliable and timely pick-up and drop transport services for patient to go for medical check-ups and non-emergency care to healthcare centers and emergency rooms. It saves patient’s cost (as compared to calling an ambulance for non-emergency care) besides providing other valuable benefits. According to a study conducted by USC/AARP/UHC, it is reported that patients who received easy access to Non-Emergency Medical Transportation services for an uninterrupted period of three months showed a marked improvement (more than 90%) in their health & quality of life.

Patients Free to Choose Rides as Per Doctor’s Appointment

As compared to ambulance that will only take the patient to the nearest hospital or emergency room, NEMT services which of late have been integrating their services with healthcare organizations offer patients the option to go a doctor’s office, urgent care room, or hospital that may be at a distance.  All this transportation comes for a much lower cost than hiring an ambulance which may operate under erratic schedule. By opting for NEMT patients have the freedom to schedule rides as per their medical appointment, thus giving them the option to choose doctors and hospitals that are within the network.

Medicaid & NEMT

Medicaid non-emergency medical transportation (NEMT) is an important benefit granted to patients who need to go and see their healthcare professionals frequently for routine check-ups, but are not able to afford it financially due to weak economic condition; and do not have the means of transportation.  The Code of Federal Regulations requires States to see that those patients who fall under this category are eligible for Medicaid so that they can avail of NEMT to pick and drop them for their medical checks-ups and views.  Patients may please note that every State’s Medicaid program is different. And that it is for them to understand and take decisions based on it.  

NEMT Vehicles Are Well Equipped

NEMT vehicles are specially designed to transport individuals with special physical needs. For example for patients using a wheelchair, NEMT sends vehicles that are equipped with a wheelchair ramp, lift, and other medical facilities. This enables patients to easily enter and exit the vehicle without getting off the wheelchair. When you use a normal transport or vehicle, this can be a challenging situation. Other than this there is responsive and well-trained staff to ensure your wellbeing on the go.

Types of NEMT Services

There are different types of NEMT service vehicles including airplane allotted to patients based on one’s needs. While some transportation vehicles may offer wheelchair for patients, some just provide to and fro standard transportation to healthcare center and home for non-emergency patients, and some can take patients anywhere they want. It is for a patient to evaluate her/his own needs, and take a look at the various transportation options that before booking the ride.

Rates:

No two NEMT service providers will charge the same rate, they have their own prices. However they are very competitive and when you hire them you end up saving substantially compared with hiring an ambulance which may also always not be a reliable option. Some service providers may also submit a quote that patients can compare to choose what suits them.
