Non-Emergency Medical Transportation
Non-Emergency Medical Transportation (NEMT) refers to transportation services that help individuals reach medical appointments when they do not require urgent care. This service is essential for patients who may have difficulty driving themselves or accessing public transportation due to health issues, disabilities, or lack of transportation options.
NEMT is often covered by health insurance programs, including Medicaid, to ensure that patients can attend necessary medical visits, such as check-ups or therapy sessions. By providing reliable transportation, NEMT helps improve health outcomes and ensures that individuals receive the care they need without the stress of travel logistics.
