In the digital age, data analytics has become essential for technology-centered businesses. It provides actionable information that will help the company move forward in the right direction. Data analytics help with crafting strategies and changing plans to suit the needs of the clientele. How can data analytics help non-emergency medical transportation (NEMT) services?

Non-emergency transportation service (NEMT) vehicles are equipped with software to ensure efficient and safe trips. Software modernizes transport processes and ensures maximum productivity and other benefits. Approved Transportation Management Systems (ATMS) can take operations to the next level. In this article, we talk about ATMS, its integration with NEMT, and its numerous benefits. But first, what is it?

Non-emergency medical transportation (NEMT) is a growing industry. In the next few years, experts foresee a 9% annual growth, which would see the market increase its estimated worth of $8.659 billion in 2021 to $15.58 billion in 2028. This scope for overall growth is incredibly promising. However, NEMT businesses must still boost their marketing to capture their target markets. Referral marketing will play a crucial role in the growth of the NEMT industry.

People need different things. Certain patients require varying healthcare accommodations. They also have other economic backgrounds. Non-emergency medical transportation (NEMT) should be based on services requested and rendered rather than a standard set of pricing.

Microtransit and non-emergency medical transportation (NEMT) are becoming game changers in the healthcare industry. They have become important modes of mobility for senior citizens, persons with disabilities, and other patients who don’t have access to private vehicles. Both types of transportation make healthcare more accessible to those with special needs and those from the low-income sector.

Every business must clearly define its service offerings. This is important for internal operations, but also for the customers.  NEMT has been around for a long time, and the industry has grown a lot in recent years. The pandemic, the use of modern NEMT software, and the growing need for safe transportation have all contributed to the surge in the popularity of NEMT.

Many senior citizens and persons with disabilities need regular medical checkups but fail to do so because transportation isn’t always available. Non-emergency medical transportation (NEMT) is the answer they have been waiting for. However, just because the NEMT industry is slowly gaining ground doesn't mean that the transportation problem has been solved.

Around four million Americans miss their healthcare appointments due to the lack of appropriate transportation. Starting an NEMT business is not just about making money, but it is also a form of service to one of the most vulnerable sectors of society. What are the essential NEMT business elements you need to consider?

By ensuring patients can easily get rides to hospitals, clinics, and healthcare facilities, Non-Emergency Medical Transportation (NEMT) plays a vital role in healthcare. That said, wait times can be detrimental to NEMT operations. By definition, it is the time NEMT drivers have to wait before the passenger is ready for the trip.

Non-emergency medical transportation (NEMT) has been around for decades, but in some ways, it seems like the industry is still in its infancy. It started because beneficiaries of Medicaid—the government health insurance system passed into law in 1965—were clamoring for better transportation coverage. They were low-income people, pregnant women, the elderly, and persons with disabilities and other medical needs that required specialized vehicles and transport services.

The largest gathering of non-emergency medical transportation (NEMT) professionals is happening in Jacksonville, Florida, this September. The Non-Emergency Medical Transportation Accreditation Commission (NEMTAC) 2023 is an annual event for NEMT company owners, operators, drivers, vendors, healthcare professionals, executives, payers, and educators.

When a person turns 50, they should get a medical checkup at least once every year. The frequency increases with age and when they are diagnosed with age-related diseases.
