Why NEMT?

Access to non-emergency medical transportation (NEMT) services can be a lifeline for many people, allowing them to access essential medical care that would otherwise be out of reach. Take, for instance, Rosa, a single mother of two who had been experiencing chest pain for a few weeks. Concerned about her health, she scheduled an appointment with her primary care physician, who recommended that she see a cardiologist. As someone who relies on public transportation, Rosa was worried about getting to the appointment, especially since the clinic was located across town. She had missed appointments in the past because of transportation issues and didn't want to risk missing this important appointment. A friend suggested she look into NEMT services, and though Rosa was hesitant at first, she decided to give it a try. When she scheduled a ride, she was pleasantly surprised when a courteous driver arrived at her door, ready to take her to the clinic. The driver made sure Rosa was comfortable during the ride and arrived on time to the appointment. After the appointment, the driver was there to take her back home. Thanks to NEMT services, Rosa was able to get the medical care she needed without having to worry about transportation. Access to NEMT services is especially important for those who live in urban areas and low-income communities, where transportation options can be limited. NEMT services offer a safe and reliable way for individuals to get to their medical appointments, regardless of their location or income. Drivers are licensed by the New York City Taxi & Limousine Commission (TLC) to transport patients safely and efficiently, and they arrive on time to pick up patients from their homes. In addition to being reliable, NEMT drivers are courteous and professional, treating patients with respect and compassion. During the ride, they make sure patients are comfortable and safe and are happy to accommodate any special needs or requests. It is worth noting that NEMT drivers are not familiar with the patient's medical needs as a way of respecting patient privacy in accordance with HIPAA guidelines. NEMT services are critical for promoting healthcare fairness and ensuring that everyone has the opportunity to get the medical care they need. By using NEMT services, patients like Rosa can get to their appointments safely and on time with a courteous driver while protecting their privacy.
