Non-Emergency Medical Transportation (NEMT)

Non-Emergency Medical Transportation (NEMT) refers to transportation services that help individuals travel to and from healthcare appointments when they are unable to do so on their own, usually due to medical conditions or mobility issues. NEMT is not for emergencies but ensures essential access to outpatient services, hospitals, or therapy sessions. These services can include wheelchair vans, ambulettes, or sedans, often arranged through health insurance plans or Medicaid. The goal is to support patients in maintaining their health and treatment schedules by providing reliable, safe transportation options.
