Non-emergency medical transportation can be defined as a transportation service provided to people who are not in an emergency situation but need more care and assistance than a taxi service is able to provide. Medical transportation Service providers will be specially equipped to transport riders in wheelchairs, stretchers or with other special needs.
Non-emergency medical transportation is considered as a core Medicaid benefit. But as Medicaid programs come under question in the current healthcare policy climate, it is difficult to understand how these puzzle pieces fit together but Non emergency medical transportation plays a vital role in providing people the customized service they need.
NEMT also assists people with certain disabilities and serious chronic diseases who have frequent appointments and people who have limited public transportation options and long travel times to health care providers, such as those in rural areas. NEMT expenses eligible for federal Medicaid matching funds include a broad range of services, such as medical taxicabs, public transit buses and subways, and van programs.
The Non-Emergency Medical Transportation (NEMT) program provides eligible members transportation needed to get to and from their medical appointments. To be eligible for these services, members must have no other means of transportation available and are only transported to those medical services covered under the Medicaid program.
