235 million Americans use social media daily. NEMT brokers, your clients, their caregivers, and the facilities that refer them are already there. Here's how to make sure your NEMT business shows up when they're looking.

Healthcare data breaches now average $9.77 million. NEMT providers carry patient PHI across dispatch systems, driver apps, and billing platforms — and most have no dedicated IT. Here's what the threat looks like and what actually stops it.

Most NEMT vehicles are federally exempt from DOT inspections. But federal rules are just the starting point. State mandates, broker contracts, and ADA requirements can all add obligations on top, and the rules vary significantly depending on where you operate.

Most NEMT providers deal with brokers daily but don't fully understand how brokers make money. The payment model your broker uses affects how quickly you get paid, how trips get authorized, and whether a ride denial is financial or logistical.

A single NEMT van can generate $55,000 a year or $120,000. A 10-vehicle fleet can clear $1 million in revenue or barely break even. The difference almost always comes down to the same three things: contract mix, trip efficiency, and how well costs are controlled.

Medicare Advantage plans are scaling back transportation benefits, but demand for non-emergency medical transportation is not disappearing. As enrollment continues to grow, these cuts are reshaping who wins, who loses, and what it now takes for NEMT providers to stay in-network.

Medical transportation depends on multiple parties sharing the same trip information. When that data sits in silos across calls, emails, and separate systems, rides slip, discharges stall, and plans lose visibility. A facility portal closes the loop by combining scheduling, live status, and communication in one workflow.
