Here at Medi-Ops, we work with facilities to increase productivity and effective transportation, while decreasing the stress and logistics that often come with it. Specifically with NEMT (non-emergent medical transportation), the immense need for capable vehicles and staff is on the rise.
Non-Emergency Medical Transportation
NEMT does it all. Wheelchairs. Stretchers. Ambulances. These services meet patients where they are at (through assessment of medical and financial needs) to give them the best care possible. An increase in elderly populations in the United States means an increase in the need for NEMT services. Due to this increase, service providers must be aware that NEMT options are important to constantly evaluate in order to be prepared for all types of transportation services. Even though this branch of medical transportation is non-emergent, issues of slow response times or late arrivals can not be tolerated. It is truly imperative for facilities to have these services available while always being safe and time efficient, in order to care for patients and their families.
We offer multiple patient transportation services across the country. The use of personalized operations coordinators helps determine the correct service or operator according to the patient’s medical and financial needs.

Custom NEMT Plans
Nursing and medical facilities are able to provide that extra level of care when working with Medi-Ops. Custom plans are available and extraordinarily beneficial to these institutions. Here’s how it works…
- Medi-Ops meets with the facility to determine needs and wants in relation to NEMT services
- If fit for our network: The facility will be set up with our network of operators and are given a login to track dispatches and vehicles being utilized through our specialized AI technology and algorithms.
- If fit for a dedicated vehicle: We will work with the facility to obtain a vehicle (whether they have purchased a vehicle or we help them obtain one) that will stay at their operating facility for their use, 24/7!
If the facility is eligible for a dedicated vehicle, they are able to save on operating costs by not having a need to pay a per-mile transportation fee. Since Medi-Ops serves as the logistics and operations behind the vehicle, the elements of stress that come with vehicle and logistics issues, as well as staffing and maintenance, are all taken care of. In addition, we provide vehicle wrapping and other branding opportunities for each facility. We have the option to subsidize the cost of the vehicle with any extra trips that we may have.
Benefits of Having a Dedicated Vehicle
There are several benefits that come with a facility choosing to have a dedicated vehicle. One of the more obvious is dedicated reliable transportation. A dedicated vehicle is just that – absolutely dedicated to the needs of the facility. This creates reliability and efficiency for the facility utilizing the vehicle.
The day-to-day logistics and plans are all taken care of in order to conduct and carry out all transportation needs, ensuring every trip is completed with the highest levels of quality and care.
Rarely do you meet anyone that enjoys dealing with vehicle maintenance. Thankfully, a dedicated vehicle means Medi-Ops uses our knowledge and expertise in transportation to bring the most hassle-free process of vehicle utilization and maintenance. This allows us to ensure that method of transportation is up to date with safety, legal, and maintenance standards.
It is absolutely essential to have drivers and staff that are reliable and consistent when dealing with NEMT and medical transportation in general. We are able to educate drivers and staff to have up-to-date training and imperative qualities to be the most successful in serving you, your patients, or your clients. We eliminate problems with staff through an infrastructure of insurance and extensive training.
The decreased cost is a benefit of dedicated vehicles that can’t go unsaid. With a high volume of clients, costs continue to decrease so a dedicated vehicle is just a financial benefit that can’t be passed on.
While utilization of services such as Medi-Ops increases the safety and efficiency of all medical transportation, not all accidents can be diminished. In the unlikely case of an accident that involves a dedicated vehicle, the facility is adequately covered.
NEMT is an essential part of the medical field and a direct reflection of a facility. Thankfully, Medi-Ops is able to and happy to relieve this burden from any facility or home, providing exceptional service with efficient costs.
