Orlando, Fla.—A non-emergency medical transportation operation is a rewarding business opportunity that provides a valuable service to seniors who no longer drive a vehicle and this type of transportation service would come in handy. You can look at it as a taxi service aimed primarily at seniors. But you do need to have a few things in place before you can launch your non-emergency medical transportation business.

There is an extensive review process that takes place prior to approving a company to provide non-emergency medical transportation. The review process isn’t short; in fact, it takes between 3 and 6 months to get back a response after sending in your application. During this time, the appropriate background checks are run and all aspects of the application are analyzed to ensure the company meets all standards and regulations.

Medicaid reimburses for medically necessary non-emergency transportation services for a Medicaid eligible recipient and a personal care attendant or escort, if required, who have no other means of transportation available to any Medicaid compensable service. This service is one of the minimum covered services for all Managed Medical Assistance, Long-term Care and Comprehensive Long-term Care plans serving Medicaid enrollees. Also, the original Medicare and Medicare Advantage, both, cover emergency transportation in an ambulance. Most of the time, original Medicare does not cover non-emergency situations, unless approved ahead of time.

With the increased demand, many new NEMT Service companies are emerging as well as others expanding their operations in Florida.


We’re all getting older, but to give you an idea, those over 65 are the fastest growing part of the population. In fact, the number of Americans ages 65 and older is projected to more than double from 46 million today to over 98 million by 2060, and the 65-and-older age group’s share of the total population will rise to nearly 24 percent from 15 percent. Florida is particularly known for hosting a large population of people at retiring ages.
