The Benefits of Medical Transport
A patient may be undergoing transfer from one facility to another, or to their dwelling. If the NEMT service provider has a background in EMT, or hires personnel to provide such, the benefits are several.
-Depending on type of service provided, a vehicle may require a lift for wheelchair users or other disabilities. The trained personnel will be familiar with such equipment.
-A trained transporter can provide sufficient medical supervision if such is warranted. Vitals may be monitored, or medications administered if the trip and schedule are the same.
-During long distance transport, an EMT may provide a calming sedative at the outset to help the patient relax if so desired.
-The trained personnel may provide respiratory therapy or monitor medical devices during lengthier transports if so required.

Example Business Model
There are several state government web sites that offer specific information related to the NEMT services and policies they observe. Below is a paraphrased notation from the Wisconsin Department of Health Services.
Non-emergency medical transportation is a public transportation and shared ride service. Transportation may be via city bus, specialized medical vehicle, or transportation in other types of vehicle based on medical need. There is a stipulation surrounding use of the service. If neighbors, friends, relatives, or voluntary organizations can transport one to their medical appointment(s), then rides are not available through the transport manager.
