Having access to medical appointments is vital to a person’s health and overall well-being, and NEMT ensures that all fragile patients have transportation to and from doctor’s appointments, urgent care, the pharmacy, etc. A whole host of people – disabled, aging seniors, normally healthy people hampered by surgery, injury, or medication – benefit from NEMT services. State Medicaid programs guarantee access to NEMT for the low-income population with transportation issues. NEMT vehicles come with special equipment so that riders can have safe and comfortable trips.
