Many patients, such those with mobility issues, require transportation assistance. Missed preventative care often results in increased health-related illnesses and many underserved consumers with unmet transport needs are greatly impacted. Studies prove that increasing transportation access to medical services results in significant savings for healthcare providers and better outcomes for patients.<\/p>\n<p>NEMT drivers pick up patients at their homes and drive them to their preventative care appointments. Dedicated drivers help patients into vehicles and assist with their wheelchairs, walkers, and crutches. NEMT ensures safe arrival inside a healthcare facility and a secure drive home\u2014confirming that patients reach their front doors.<\/p>\n<p>For hospital and outpatient facility discharges, some patients also encounter challenges in needing transportation to safely reach their homes or assisted living facilities.
